Any system that allows untrusted users to add/edit content is ripe for 
abuse by these selfish bastard spammers.

If you can lock it down so that only registered users can make changes, 
things will be a lot better.  If you don't really want your visitors to 
make changes, then all the better, disable account creation (or select 
an option that means they have to be manually approved before they can 
log in, or something, if that option is present), so that spammers can't 
just create an account then use it to spam.
