Ecmascript is your tool then, when you really need it. But there are very, very, very few cases.

A more elegant way to say it, yes :)

You know that frames are instruments of the Evil One, don’t you ? ;->

Something that might also be a very good idea is to include the ability to have a whitelist of acceptable domains or commenters that wouldn’t get the rel=“nofollow” appended to their links.

Hmm, well you could link to Google’s blog entry near your comment form “your spam won’t work here”, might keep away some of the non-automated spammers.
My email address has changed recently. If you need to contact me, use the forum contact form.

Trust me, the cheap-ass software that the spammers are using is not going to be considerate enough to read that text or check anything else on your page. The only motivation they have is to spam as many systems as possible in as little time.
The situation that created comment spam has to do with the fact that getting links — no matter where or how — works to improve your rankings in search engines. Take away that bone, and (so the theory goes) they’ll stop chasing.

This method will take months before it has any impact at all on spam.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_prblock
sorry about the “echos” ; )
Yeah… I fear you are right Jeremie. I just figured that since spammer bots look for a posting area, they might look for a clear signal that their spam won’t gets posted on a certain site. Problem is that regardless of any tag, if the bot found your site, how much more work is it to make a fruitless post. Even if that post is fruiless, it is probably not much work at all
I really do think you are right… except for maybe large blogging sites with managed software (like Typepad) the change in behaviour will be really slow.
One thing I’ve been pondering is… how many bots know Textile?
