We could concoct some sort of spelling/punctuation/grammar/intelligence test where new users have to score above like 80% to join.

Have them spell ten commonly misspelled words, identify the difference between a noun, a verb, an adverb and pronoun, some basic sentence structure questions and then a scaled-down IQ test of about 10 questions. Maybe also include a vBulletin primer that has to be viewed before they can post - stuff on how to search old posts and so on.

On second thought, can we administer this test retroactively to current members?
