Hmm, you are completely right. But it's still not that accessible for our fellow programmers who are visually impaired.

Well atm, no lynx or braille terminals can submit a bug (afaik) so not sure how much of a problem that is.

This CSS-obfuscation would generate problems with text-only
readers (lynx or braille terminals), so I don't think it's a
good idea.

How about this one, I've been experimenting with, uses plain HTML
obfuscating the code with various css techiques.

I don't think that the math-test would prevent much spam.
It's very easy to automatically read and solve these equations.

Would a verified note submission (e.g. the user provides his
eMail- address and he gets a message where he has to click
on a link
to publish his note) be a better solution? Personally, I
think that
even that may be bypassed.

I would be in favour of implementing a basic mathematical
skill-testing question a la Lukas Smith's blog at

is still
accessible to the visually impaired, unlike classic CAPTCHA.
Agreed, spammers suck, but CAPTCHAs too.

Yeah, I don't like CAPTCHAs either. Mainly for the reason Dan
outlined.

Don't let the spammers win! :)
Not at all ;-)

What about: "basic mathematical
skill-testing question" ?
