This should be only a decision by the Membership Committee:

They are the ones who receive the spam - and neither you nor I can
know about the number of mails then.

If spam starts to hinder their work, recaptcha should be activated in 
my opinion.

As every community member will not have to fill the membership form 
more often than once a year, the "plague" of reading the recaptcha 
signs should not be too hard...

(If accessibility would be a topic, the MC could think of a mail request 
for disabled people).

When I had to decide between a few seconds more work for hundred(s)
people once a year and spending even more time every day (summing
up to a reasonable amount of time over the year), I would know what to 
choose.

But as I already said: This is up to the Membership Committee (and 
Sophie already posted her decision - for the moment).

Best regards

Bernhard
