We did have this enabled at one point, but because most of the spammers are bots it didn't stop them (there are some other spam filters which usually do, but not always). If it does become a bigger problem then we might have to re-enable it though .

The debate is still raging on this one though!

P.S.
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger on this one! I'm in the same camp.
