We actually have that currently. But our team has noticed that it appears to give spammers a "win" by visibly taking down the site for anyone who wants to join, so we've implemented new spam detection mechanisms. So far, we're pretty pleased with their ability to shut down attacks pre-emptively, or quickly after they've begun. And we're tweaking them all the time to make them intelligently block spam even faster.

As for a taste of things to come, expect Russian spam bots clogging up the News section to soon be a thing of the past

@Zyx

Now you're speaking my language! That's definitely something we'd need server access to do right. Theoretically there are exotic solutions we could design, but I don't think I want to design those =P

I'm sure this has been suggested already but, I'd like if clicking a thread or pm link in notifications took you to the most recent message (the message that caused the notification) rather than the very beginning of the thread/pm.

It does work this way for me already. Not sure if it's something you or browser specific, but I am on Firefox if that helps anything.
