Noticed that Drupal now has a bayesian spam filter module. Nice to know but I don't really want them to get past my front door. I'd like to use a captcha system where the commenter has to enter a keycode that is hard for a script to read.
I tried a quick hack whereby I changed the name of the POST term that submits a comment from 'Post comment' to 'Post Comment' in the hope that the spammer was running a script that just automated sending the post term. Either the submission form is being scraped for the post term or it is being done manually (unlikely).
If I have any ideas for simple hacks then I'll keep quiet as I don't want to give any clues away. I'll post about failures to avoid anyone else wasting their time.
