At times, quite a lot at 1, 2, or 3 karma points.
Of course there are also the "vicious" copy comment/paste same comment + 
a link spams, which go through in any case, unless the target link was 
explicitly blacklisted. It's mainly because of the latter kind that I

Yes, but only once in a while, the success status is maintained in the 
session for a while (captcha_karma_lifetime).
