Honestly I don't find the amount of spam as annoying as the amount of
pointless posts and/or support questions... but if you really want such a
system, why not have one that switches randomly between captcha, math
problems, and anagrams and also verifies the referer url. This wouldn't be
foolproof, but the point here is only to make it more of a hassle than the
next guys site.
