Really I don't know what else you can do to mitigate spam.

1) Please can an optional method of preventing first time users from posting questions until their account has been approved be added?

This suggestion by the OP would have solved my problem. Very surprised this wasn't done before Akismet.

Even something like "require x Karma before asking questions" would work perfectly.
