Akismet alone was not stopping enough comment spam, so I have implemented is_human() which asks a random multiple choice question, answers are in a drop down and it should be easy for humans to comment, but difficult for machines.
Sadly, the marker for a required field did not get enabled initially (now fixed) and a few comments were lost, sorry. If you commented in the last 4 days and feel your comment was ignore/discarded unfairly, simply re-submit; I welcome discussion with opposing points of view, but SPAM is not welcome here.
Update: I have pulled is_human() off my blog as it blocks too much legitimate commentary and cannot stop linkback/trackback spam. Grrr.

Wow, that’s pretty impressive, Scott! Any chance I could ask you to port it to Serendipity…?

Serendipity? Uh, a little disambiguation please?
FYI; is_human() is a WordPress module, it should be easy to install in any WordPress blog with a tiny bit of PHP template editing.
If Serendipity is a competing blog/CMS system; I’m afraid you’ll need to talk to is_human()’s author:

I hope that helps? Not really sure I understand the question.
D’oh! I thought you created the plugin, and figured I’d hit you up for a port to ye olde blogge software.
Ah well…
Regards,
Brian
