Re: spam stopping idea
I always found CAPTCHAs kind of annoying, so when Team 237's forums were hit by spambots I found a better idea.
Rather than image verification, make the user answer a simple question. "What is two plus two?", "Pick what doesn't fit: Cow, Goat, Lamb, Blender" etc.
If the spammers were really dedicated, they'd search through all the questions and figure out the answers themselves, then feed them to the bots. However with a big enough question bank, they will probably just go to a more vulnerable board.
