Yes, but it wouldn't stop it -- very very few of the spammers will be coming from the same IP address. We can stop repeat spam -- the moderators do a good job of shutting off the spamming accounts quickly after reported.
I installed a hack last week that requires a user to answer a simple question (2+2, etc.) when making a new account. Since then, we have had a dramatic drop in spam, so I guess it worked. So until the bots figure that out.. I think we're safe.
