I wholeheartedly agree with you. Spam bots are becoming an increasing problem and we need a very advanced solution for this. There are various useful hacks to counter bots, but it is not possible to combine several of them. Especially those hacks that deal with the registration. It would be nice to have one integration for all of them.

Would this hack work with:
Enhanced Image Captcha - Stop bots from signing up!
vMail - Verify Mail before registration.
