Yeah, could be fun.
I like the idea I had on a blog recently - generate a randomised string, and 
store that in the users session, then use it as a prefix (or instead of) the 
comments (etc.) field(s).
When the form is submitted, you can work out the property in the FORM scope to 
look for because you know what you are expecting.
Of course, this only works if the bot is really just 'blind posting' to the 
action page rather than actually retrieving and parsing the form each time - 
check your web server logs to find out which is happening to you :-)
