*Users can simply try answers until they find the

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).
