Also, as part of this project I went through and commented the phorum
backend API, and I've managed to get those changes back into the
phorum repository (see forwarded email below).

Changes (by ts77):
How do you envision handling spam messages? Does Phorum have a plugin
architecture for allowing various methods of controlling comment spam? I
don't think banning a user is going to be enough to stop comment spam.
Personally, I absolutely _love_ the Spam Karma 2 plugin for Wordpress,
which uses a number of criteria for determining whether a comment is
legitimate or not such as whether the user's browser supports Javascript,
whether the comment text includes multiple URLs, whether it includes words
on a blacklist, etc.
Ideally, we'd be able to just hook up some of these existing plugins to
our setup. But I don't know how far from reality that is.
There is a gotcha plugin for phorum. That could weed out a lot of spam.
