How are you dealing with the potential of spammers? Watching and will worry about it when it happens? Or something else?

Got an idea in a similar space but been wondering how I could effectively deal with bots, etc. I have a variety of techniques on forums/comment sites dealing with spam but none are perfect and some still gets through (usually manual operators rather than bots).

Here's what to do:

Bake all of that into your site from the beginning and hopefully you'll stay off of Google's blacklist.
