 The registration form on my blog (chaoticmortal.com) is being spammed, and
 I have realized there is no protection. Is it possible to create a hidden
 field or such in the Registration form? I am recieving hundreds of
 registrations a day, with names like fkb02nldm, so I am pretty sure it is
 spam.

 The hidden field could have "DO NOT ENTER ANYTHING" in it, so in case some
 browsers show this field, it will still be okay. Can somebody write a
 patch and commit it to the next version?
