If anyone has ever had to do contact forms, or registration forms, even with CAPTCHA in them, you’ll know that you still get stupid emails and registrations. On one of my forums (IPB) it got so bad that I had to install a 3rd party hook to help defend against this, which uses the awesome service from http://www.stopforumspam.com/ In fact it’s been so good that I’ve written a CodeIgniter library to use their API and check email addresses entered in my forms against now. I may post it soon, but as some douche bags like to host other peoples code on GitHub, without contributing anything to them, then offering you a position of admin to your own code… i’m in two minds if I should not just start releasing my plugins as paid!
