Spam account

Still, much lower quantity than before
Deleted that one.
Unfortunately, there still seem to be dozens of spam accounts a day being created:

They haven't made any edits yet, so perhaps they're being prevented by whatever ED's added - but really, it should not be possible for so many new bot accounts to be created, even if their attempted spam edits aren't getting through (yet).
The only question one is required to answer upon registration is "iPhone or Pandora?" This is extremely easy for a bot to answer - I think it's very likely that they're programmed to try answering with words from the question itself.
ED, please consider changing the question to the one I recommended. At the very least, the answer should NOT be one of the words in the question itself!
Here's the question I recommend for creating a new account:
Type in "pandora" but replace the first letter "a" with "@", replace the letter "o" with the number zero, and add a dash in between the third and fourth letters.
I've tried to specifically formulate it to make it difficult for a robot to simply parse the text and arrive at the right answer - at least for the current level of AI widely used in spambots - but not so difficult that a person couldn't figure it out.
By the way the list of software released on Pandora is not up to date anymore at all

I don't have time for this, but if anyone is willing...
I know, I know... I'm very busy working on my thesis this year, so it has really taken a backseat. I expect I'll get more involved again after I send my Pandora in for RMA (it's had the BTOD which has largely prevented me from using it, but I hadn't sent it in because I've also been having desktop computer issues, so I needed to have at least one computer around as a backup).
