>>>>How about the "honeypot" method >> Anyone have any experience with this highly efficient,
I have used it and several others like it such as naming a hidden form field emailaddress and tracking cookies from page to page and other methods and it does reduce automated bots but does not eliminate them. The bots generally read a form and then brute force attack it filling out or not filling out fields to bypass this exact method. While I fully agree in principal that the form protection should be transparent the use of a simple 3-5 characters short and legible captcha has so far been the absolute best deterrent to automated bots that I have found.
