Comment spam is pretty similar to email spam -- there are a bunch of tricks you can use to slow down dumb scripts, but then the scripts get smarter and you're back to square one. Hidden form fields, randomized form field names, and even captchas can all be defeated once the spambots get smart enough. Akismet takes a different approach -- it basically acts as a global spam filter, though as the risk of false positives. http://akismet.com/ You could do the same thing by running all of your comments through a GMail inbox. The idea is to use the powerful tools that have already been developed for email spam, and also to make it "someone else's problem" so that you don't have to spend any more time on it.
