Comment Spam

By the way, comment spam on Lincolnite finally forced me to require non-logged-in visitors to answer a CAPTCHA before being allowed to comment. Please let me know if you have any problems with the new system.

I feel your pain. Better start looking around for the next technique, before the Bangladeshi captcha-solving sweatshops, or the pr0n-for-captcha-solution sites (which put me in mind of the experimental rat with the electrodes implanted in its pleasure center, pushing the button over and over until it starves to death) roll out in force.

If you find anything good, let me know. I fear that the ultimate solution may simply be required registration.

I found a pretty interesting lecture on the topic.

I remember seeing a captcha based on picking out the cute animals in amongst the not cute animals.  That seems the way to go to me.
