I've been waiting forever for someone tp pick up doing a particular project to fight comment spam. A couple of days ago I got tired of waiting and put it together in an evening. It's no silver bullet, but it did cut the amount of comment spam I get down to a fraction of what it was before. And it should scale in a way so the spammers can't easily program their way around it if many people start using it.
