Thank you. I've been looking into spam catchers to help out. Unfortunately, many of them are too aggressive and annoying.

EDIT: Replaced the default CAPTCHA with reCAPTCHA. If this doesn't help catch most of them, I'll implement something more aggressive.

I could easily block a majority of the bots by blocking some specific countries by IP but that doesn't exactly coincide with our FOSS philosophy.
