The answer to this seems simple - require a micropayment along with the submittal. tune the amount until it's not worth spamming anymore. Return the payment when the submittal is accepted or rejected. Consider keeping the payment when the submittal is clearly AI or low quality spam.

We have all the necessary technology to do this today cleanly and efficiently. If we don't it's a social problem, not a technical one.

one of the important aspects for clarkesworld is international submissions. unfortunately , while technology for micropayments exist even in eg. many african countries, i haven't yet seen any micropayment system that works globally without high transaction costs.
