I hate to say this, but my current archive is getting hit with a ton of spam ATM. Disabling anonymous reviews doesn't help, cause the bots and human spammers can beat the current simple captcha. I say for a new version demands better spam control.
That's why I suggest Are You A Human? for anonymous reviews and registration. It stops all bots, and would greatly reduce the spam the staff of an archive would have to deal with.
Can you make it easy to hook-in to the comment system so that we can add features like Akismet ? I use SFS and Honeypot but also Askismet to read all comments and do an extra layer of spam-protection.

I don't use Akismet myself at UFF (but I use it at my personal blog) because if you go above a certain number of requests, you have to start paying each month.
Plus I forgot to mention it's only free for personal accounts.
I think it's free as long as you aren't commercial, or have a ton (like 15,000+) requests a day. At least that's what I can recall from reading at the official site.
