Depends on your goal. What are you trying to prevent or block?

My friend has a web site (blog) where the comment form says:

And it has a text box.

So far it's blocked 100% of automatic blog comment spam.

What's your goal, what's the problem you're trying to solve, and how
much inconvenience are you willing to impose on your users in order to
solve the problem?
