Confronting the Spambots again. . .

This morning I awoke to over 400 spam comments throughout the blog, so it's time to work on tightening up the blog and beat them back again. I've upped the "junk" threshhold on this MT 3.2 installation, so that will probably reduce the numbers of spam-comments that get through.

What I'm really looking for however is a Turing Test for MT 3.2, I've browsed through SixApart's site a few times and can't seem to find one that is effective. SCode, which is recommended, but it drops the value right into the page as hidden text, so that doesn't help as most bot-writers can find it and automatically enter it.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I don't get a ton of comments, but those I do, I appreciate, so I'd rather not disable comments altogether.
