mollum didn't work that well for ardour.org. we eventually turned it off. i

nuke spam (and its creators) by hand.
the best suggestion i've seen was something on a boingboing comment thread

where user registration involves answering several human-ish questions

correctly and then filling in a free-form answer "why do you want to join?"

a few idiots actually write "seo" in there. with a relatively low sign up

rate, this can be easily human-managed, and avoids 99.8% of all spam.
