We could change it to be opt-in only, but the participants who are creating spammy PR's have already shown they don't read rules, so I think they would continue to create the same PR's.

That's why, to deal with the immediate issue we're creating an obvious, even lower-effort route for the impatient participants to take (follow a guide to create 4 PR's on your own repo) - and longer term we'll make bigger changes (maybe including an opt-in only model) that solve the perverse incentive issues that seem to be driving this PR spam.
