Upgrade to COREBlog 1.2.5, then upgrade some dtml templates for the comment forms. Your comment spam will go down to 0 (yes, zero). I don't remember where this was explained, but COREBlog now uses cookies and a two-step comment procedure (users have to "preview" first before commenting) which for me stops 100% of comment spam. COREBlog also has a feature that will set all trackbacks from sites that don't link to you to be moderated. I've patched this on my own blog to plain deny all such fake trackbacks. (For that patch see http://betabug.ch/blogs/ch-athens/385) The result so far has to me been a 100% spamfree blogging experience, no captchas needed. I see tons of spambots trying in my logs, but they don't get through. I usually block those IPs when I spot them, but that is just for bandwidth conservation.
