I never liked captcha's. I even have seen one instance 'in the field' of someone not able to solve a captcha in the first dozen attempts (don't ask).

Up till now, I've been successfull to keep spam off this one website I set up, just by checking all 'periferal requests' are actually performed (stylesheets, scripts, images), confirming it's a real 'flesh and bones' web-browser session calling the website, and denying any post with 4 or more URL's in 'em.

The few spammers that did get past I got silent by blacklisting on IP number. (for now)

But I must say this is still not waterproof, but nothing is anyway. (Then again, I guess there's nothing much to gain spamming a website with pagerank 2.)
