I don't think that the math-test would prevent much spam. It's very
easy to automatically read and solve these equations.
Would a verified note submission (e.g. the user provides his eMail-
address and he gets a message where he has to click on a link to
publish his note) be a better solution? Personally, I think that even
that may be bypassed.

I would be in favour of implementing a basic mathematical
skill-testing question a la Lukas Smith's blog at
http://pooteeweet.org -- it is a protection method that is still
accessible to the visually impaired, unlike classic CAPTCHA.
Agreed, spammers suck, but CAPTCHAs too.
Yeah, I don't like CAPTCHAs either. Mainly for the reason Dan
outlined.
Don't let the spammers win! :)
Not at all ;-)
What about: "basic mathematical
skill-testing question" ?
