[extropy-chat] Blog spam

[Brian Atkins]

Since the blogspam is mostly automated, moving to a different host will not 
solve it. All blogs suffer from this. Some solutions are:

1. Eliminate comments permanently.

2. Moderate all comments. Can be partially automated by only requiring 
moderation of comments that have links in them.

3. Require a CAPTCHA in combination with user login for comments. Will not 
eliminate the few human spammers out there.

4. Some newer blog software is incorporating Bayesian comment filtering.
