Hi,
I'm involved with the management of a range of sites and we find that

even requiring registration and an email address doesn't necessarily

cut out all spam.  You might also want to consider something like

Mollom (http://mollom.com) - it's free for small community sites, and

developed by the originator of Drupal.
Best wishes,
Neil
