the best solution would probably be a "proof that you are no spam-bot" check-box or password or...
i haven't found something yet which fullfills this (preferrably as plone-product)
Because I also had comment-spammers on my site, I wrote a silly spam protection which randomly asks if you're a spammer or if you are no spammer and also randomly gives different default answers. This has stopped the spam so far, but of course it's a rather naive "solution", which can be circumvented easily if a spammer is desperate enough.
well: your "solution" is what i had in mind. there is nothing that cannot be circumvented if a spammer really wants to have their saying. even the captcha thing does not help you, if a spammer is a human and not a bot.
the not-so-good thing with your approach is (imho), that the checkbox always has to default to the "wrong" answer, which makes it simple to guess the "right" answer. having 2 checkboxes, where _at least_ one has checked the wrong answer would make it more foolproof - at the cost of a real annoyance when using the system :-(
