Oh, so it was you who did it :)

Can we use simple verification like an email regex at least ?
I am not sure how tough this is, but seems easier with javascript
since it is quite common now a days.

For bots, a CAPTCHA is needed. Perhaps we can have a simple
one like what they use at wiki.python.org ? A few random questions
that cycle and the user has to enter the answer ?

There is no need of a complicated image CAPTCHA for this.
