On a Dutch forum we were dealing with a considerable amount of spam. Most spam account creation/posting is done automatically through scripts. So, we simply added an additional account creation field with a verification question the can only be answered by humans, like: "Op welke dag is Kortjakje niet ziek?" (On which day isn't Kortjakje ill?) There is this Dutch children's rhyme/song that everyone knows, and tells the story of Kortjakje, who is ill on every day except Sunday. There must be a nice English equivalent :). After this change there has been virtually no spam on the forum (I think only once through an unrelated bug). Take care, Daniel
