Hi besonen,

Creating a CAPTCHA at the post page is definitely a spam buster.

CAPTCHA is a big part of it, once we've added it for registration and anon posts the number of spam post has gone down drastically. There are other options possible such as rejecting posts containing more then a certain number of URLs, blacklists etc...
