I'm going to be implementing the comments framework and I'm wondering what I should expect to run into. If someone could specifically explain the methods they've tried/tested for anti-spam measures in django and give recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it.
And yes, I have read some of the questions here but I haven't run into a detailed thorough answer specific to django.
No there is'nt any working anti-spam in contrib comment framework.
I've tested honeypot, it stops 50% of spam. I've turned off retelimit and askimet on quite big page 100 comments per hour including 21 spam (10 of them have passed honneypot)
It may be worthwhile to note that prolific Djangonaut Daniel Roseman switched his blog's comments system from Django's Comment app to Disqus after facing "a flood of spam comments".
@Daniel is an user here; I'm sure he'll be along shortly to give you a more detailed answer.
Disqus is built on Django, and we use a combination of Bayesian filtering (with a steady stream of ham and spam fed through our comments), rate and likeness limiting, selective captchas, and--at the user's discretion--akismet.
We're still fighting, as are all spam-susceptible web services, but those are some fairly common techniques.
