Is it odd that I find the exercise to prevent the spam far more interesting than the product itself (not a criticism)? No traditional captchas, no oauth tie-ins... just good-old-fashion machine learning, graph analysis, hellbanning, negative captchas, etc

Why not just use a simple csrf stored in a session? You already have an "authenticiy_token" in the request data, why not use it, or add another value for csrf?
