    They should close PRs to the public and only accept then from contributors who apply to be vetted.

    It sucks, but that’s really the only good way to prevent spam.

        AI is quite good at solving captchas; better than many humans. And it doesn’t really slow down the sloppers for them to set their machine running, come back in an hour and then solve a puzzle manually to submit it. Couple of minutes of work every day and they can still drown the world in bullshit.

        Something needs to change, but I’m not convinced that would be enough
