Nobody is going to bother writing a script to post on a single small site - it would just go into the 'not worth it' file.

On a larger site where it would be worth the time and effort then I am out of ideas.
This is a good idea and I like it. The only problem is that everyone is assuming that these are automated spams, which they may be, but what if it is just someone that is manually pasting the spam? If this were the case, they would have no problem clicking buttons or even verifying images. But like I said, I love your idea as an added measure of security.
