We're using akismet now, which IS stopping the actual spam / link post from getting entered.
I'm extremely dubious about IP-blocking, particularly given that most of the offenders change IPs frequently, or spoof IPs. We also have seen bad accounts come through with IPs that are generic comcast, cox, verizon IP ranges. We don't want to be IP-banning willy-nilly. But I like the idea of checking for mouse movement and keyboard entry, along with hidden field for culling out automated membership accounts. Maybe it'll help.
