[Chicken-users] does adding numbers stop spam?

[Brandon Van Every]

Making a wiki users add some numbers before they commit an edit was
instituted as an anti-spam measure.  Did it work?  I ask because the
CMake authors recently adopted a draconian restriction on their bug
tracker, that only the reporter and the owner of a bug would be able
to make changes to it.  Pretty bad idea I think, so I'm wondering if
the adding numbers trick solved the spam problem.
