We considered CAPTCHA, but some people were immediately opposed | to using it, both for the reason that spammers still get past it in | an automated manner, and that it might lock out certain groups of | legitimate users. So I have personally given up on that path.

I have not noticed any spam on the very public SF tracker (or have I just missed it?) while I saw some my first visit to our hardly public trial site. Any ideas on why the difference?
