What is the current requirement for posting access on this site? Simply make an account and boom - you're posting? This isn't some hardcore elitist site, but making sure you can speak reasonable English and not just a mishmash of copy-pasted words doesn't seem that high a hurdle. Especially with the tons of mods around here.

Honest question.

This is the theory I'm going with.

Also I changed the user question yesterday and haven't seen any bots with a registration date after the user question was changed (We'll still see bots though).

It's just the price we have to pay for having a forum and not manually accepting users. That might change in the future.
