Several solutions: * Integrate typepad antispam rather than Akismet: http://antispam.typepad.com/ (it has a more friendly license) * Use the system I've used on my blog at http://massol.net to allow guest users to enter comments * Implement a captcha (we have it but make it work) Is someone interested in working on this? The typepad antispam sounds the most promising to me.
