Is the new Q&A site doomed to eventually degenerate into the old one, or are there measures that can be taken to hopefully block the spam bots and prevent this from happening? A quick search found some suggestions on Askbot's own Q&A site: https://askbot.org/en/question/7893/suggestions-for-antispam-measures/

The site admins have added forced moderation for questions and comments by new posters. This seems to have been successful (albeit with more work from the moderators) at eliminating the spam.
