Another method could be to check how much comment from a 'poor' country, if it occur from a real 'usefull' user it's probably not twice a day ? It could be combined with IP range ban, ... endless battle isn't it :) If a country doesn't have nor respect legislation to punish spammers what other choice ? Oh! still the content check, spamming without adress nor brand is quite useless (but that's a definition for spam anyway, useless and dumb). <p class="jr"> <span>Julien : </span>8O </p> Not necessarly but first solution in my mind is quite awfull :

I do a little bit of javascript myself and I never thought of such a simple and elegant solution ! I will try it at once ;) About the "manual spam" I read once that it might soon become cost-effective for the spammers to hire people of poor countries in order to bypass protections against spambots such as captcha... or yours. If it turns true, we bloggers we'll be in deep trouble :( <p class="jr"> <span>Julien : </span>Ouch yes you are right, if spammers become humans we would need moderation everywhere.</p> That’s very cleaver !
