*Users can simply try answers until they find the correct one
The software could realise it and... deny him tutorial access for some hours? set him as can't-upload until an admin verifies him?
No, I think there's nothing wrong with guessing (as Eloquence also said, IIRC). The important part is that they find out which is the correct answer and we explain why. Anyway if we use the quiz I wrote it won't take them long to figure out that guessing "False" is a pretty safe bet. ;)
*There's too much work for admins
We're talking of adding a 'can upload' permission. Also add an can review permission, automatically got after N uploads and no copyright problem. Admins could always add/remove this permission.
Do you mean 'we' as in the people on this list, or 'we' as in the developers? If it's the dev's then I'm very glad to hear it (so that we can block people from uploading only). But to my knowledge MediaWiki is not set up for this kind of thing, is it? B'crats can add/remove bot flags.
Another problem would be people creating new accounts to bypass this limit system.
Yeah, but I think we'll just have to wear that (not much we can do about it, and hopefully not too much of a problem).
