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.
