I have decided upon and implemented an antispam solution.
Of course it now makes my site less accessible - but it will keep the site spam free without any administration from me - and that's what's important here.
I have implemented a Sighted Human Input Validation Scheme. If you have vision - you can prove to my site that you are a human and not a spam-bot - and you will be allowed to post comments.
If you are not sighted - this will limit your access to posting comments - and for this I appologize. Upon recieving the first complaint from a non sighted person about the lack of accessiblity I will promptly implement a new solution. Until then I will continue to use this feature.
There is an alternative using the exact same technology - but it could be circumvented by a spam-bot. However, it would require the bot to be programmed for this specific site. I may consider implementing this alternative.
Incidentally - if you are using MT - and you would like to implement the same feature you can find the solutionHere.
