Suggested implementation: image captchas, or at least a
static "type this word" field

    New features:
    * a banned IP list
    * A list of words/terms that may not exist in a comment
    * A list of words/terms that will place a comment in the
    moderation queue (still there, but will not be shown to the
    public)

    I find image captchas too intrusive for casual commenting...

    Useful features all three, but nessecitate owner
    intervention. High-profile sites will always require a first
    line of defence against automatic comment spam.
