Why are they not using CAPTCHA or similar bot spotting measures ?, the days of just accepting a naked form post are long gone, even your lowly Wordpress installation has the option for comments thanks to bots, you would think the GOV would know this.

Probably because Octanes and Indigos sold in the thousands and consoles in the tens or hundreds of millions.
