It will also cut down on a whole bunch of valid comments, either through operator error (forgetting to go ahead and click "publish comment" after previewing it) or by turning people away by raising the threshold for participation. Anything that causes friction to the process of having a conversation sucks a bit of soul out of the conversation. Not worth it. True.

I hadn't seen that final version - looks like it just went to 1.0 today! I've tried switching over to it to see how it works out. Boris – thanks for the link!

Appears to have caught a rather large 68-comment volley early this morning, with only one sneaking through. That was easy to nuke. The module still needs a little tweakage in the UI, but it's totally usable and does a great job. So far so good.

I had to fine-tune it a bit because it was blocking some legitimate users, but now it's working great. I see at least 10 spam attempts a day trying to do something like /node/reply/nnnn but it cacthes all of them.

It managed to block me out along with the spammers. Pretty bulletproof protection :-) I might play with BB on a test site to see if I can get it behaving better...
