I dont know how robust the current captcha system is, but captcha is fairly strong at enforcing no bots, although people do pay mass numbers of people to solve them for them, and soemtimse have falws in their system. RECAPTCHA is probably the best version.
Fast moderating work = Sooner people report the sooner it gets removed, Mods are humans too and cant be online 24/7, and having someone perminantly on 24/7 for something which hasnt happened before seems a bit OTT.
