Look people, even if you type the comment by hand, if your site looks like a spam site, I will not approve your comment. And yes, I check your site before I approve you. Leave me alone!
I look at the spam posts sent to my partner site, there are a lot, especially after something new gets published. I find there are 4 types of posts: 1. Actual comment replying to the post 2. Something that really could be #1, but are just posted for the link back to the posters site 3. useless post with a link back - a phrase like nice post, look at mine http... 4. true spam, I had 4 stopped by Askimet today. nothing logical, just links back. by people hoping you don't use asimet or the link.
3 ?
Oddly, I only spend 5 seconds clearing spam and that is MUCH better than the minute per post it used to take.

I think its a good idea. But, what about people that don't have a website what so ever (like me)? Not that there are much of "us" in the world :)

I installed a captcha module on my drupal site and that managed to stop almost all of the spam... almost.
I hate to bring it up, but wasn't google's rel=nofollow supposed to stop this madness?
