Doesn't help with the page caching, but
In lib/spam_protection.rb, there's a check made for age of an article.

The following *should* work in a view ( lifted from  lib/spam_protection.rb -
haven't tested, see below):

That's pretty ugly, but it should be straightforward to knock 
up a helper to check both conditions and use that from the view. 

I'd do it myself, but  my 2 year old has poured blackcurrant squash 
into my laptop (bless her) so I might take a day or two to come 
up with a ticket.

Feel free to point out my idiocy, I have only glanced at typo so far.
