>> do spamers really care about character recognition? Do >> these characters really have to look su ugly?
>From my experience no they don't. I have been using BHCaptch written by Bobby Hartsfield that generates a captcha from separate a-z letter images. The images we use are easily readable with just a grid or dot background colored for the style of the website design. We have not had any issues with bots getting past them even on sites we took over that were getting form spammed 20 or more times a day. We had good luck with the honeypot form field but found that some were first completed by a human then that same IP returned as a bot to fill out the form. But it did reduce it by a substantial amount. The captcha so far, anecdotally, has work the best. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.
