:My situation here seems to have stabilized for the present, although I had a new user and subsequent spam hit yesterday, but only one, and that was the first since I tweaked my Questy settings. It was different than most of the ones I've had in the past. I think it was a human...

I don't think it's possible to set up a captcha of any kind that will defend against humans without also severely limiting your potential contributions ;(
