hi is there a way I can stop my guestbook from being hit by automated

I like having the feature on my site and I don't want to have to remove
it due to stupidity.
I had a similar problem with the anonymous comments on my (unmoderated)
website. The only way I could work around it was to enforce log in's.
In other words, if you're not logged in, you can't comment, send in
stories/links etc. It's a PITA but that's life. I didn't want my
family website being polluted with porn links just so these
filth-peddling low-life's could elevate their google rank!!
If user identification isn't an option, you might get some mileage from
restricting unknown/unwanted user agents....but these are easily spoofed
too.
Good luck with it :)
