Look what I've found: http://codecha.org/ . It might be an easy solution to the Haskell-specific CAPTCHA problem.

What if we replace captcha with a short, static question, the web form

akismet?

E.g.

* What is SPJ's middle name?

Yeah, I thought about something similar like: what's the result of 'map (+1) [1,2]'.

The main drawback to this is that it'll only be a matter of time before
spammers wise up. But that interval might be long enough for something better
on the horizon, e.g. akismet gets a lot smarter, better blog posts on tracspam,
etc.

I don't think that the ghc wiki is of particular interest for spammers
or that they gain a lot by understanding Haskell specifics. Most likely
they will never notice it.
