I like to allow comments to unregistered visitors, but I'm terribily spammed by thoses stupids "cialis viagra" and so on ressellers.

Is it a what to introduce a visual code or something like that to protect from automatics robots ?

thank you

http://drupal.org/project/captcha should do the trick.

This module makes contact with the akismet service to check if it contains spam. If it does contain spam it is send to moderation queue. Comments that do pass the check are just posted. The users won't notice anything different and the spam is filtered out.

Some time ago I used a plugin that added an extra field in the comments form, so you could enter a question and an answer, sort of like "What's two plus two?". Everyone knew the answer, but using that plugin I had never been spammed ever, and I doubt it stopped any real users from posting comments. Does anyone know its name or can make one for drupal 5?

What about the Spam module by jeremy ? I've been using this module for some months. Any wrong with it?

Note: capcha isn't friendly to sight-impaired people (read on Wikipedia).

the captcha module is sight imparied freindly unless you use textimage to render the image. the standard captcha module from the contributions area, adds a math question inb text, not images. Thus if visually impaired readers can read the registration form or content, they too can read the math question.
