 Hi,

 I would think that one tool which could tremendously reduce spam (I've
 modified other software similarly before and found great results) is to
 require the applicant to answer a question before even accepting the
 registration (and thus needing to filter through spam comments caused by
 spammy registered users).

 Rather than centralizing this fully, if you allowed the administrator to
 be able to modify the question and answer, this would ensure a nice
 diversity of questions so that each WordPress blog would have its own
 question. This would require spammers to either hire people to crack and
 check for updates to the questions (in which case they'd thankfully ignore
 a lot of smaller blogs and perhaps also be challenged with larger blogs
 who could afford to change the questions more frequently), give up, or get
 into the AI business (in which case, they could make money without
 spamming).

 Could you add such an admin option? I really think this could be a game
 changer for those of us flooded with spam...
