I think I have mentioned this before, but I will bring it up again. If you auto-block posts that contain a url, you block 99.?% of spam. This doesn't interfere too badly with normal comments. Only a minor inconveneince for legit users, really. Even anonymous legit users! There could be a whitelist of users who are allowed to post urls, or you could send comments that contain urls to a queue for moderation fi you want to get fancy. --- James Paige
