I can confirm that just a simple modification to the standard registration form keeps out all bot spammers. If your forum or bug tracker is small enough, that will eliminate all spam. The built-in spam countermeasures like CAPTCHA's seemed worthless from my experience.

Small enough being the operative word, since it only takes one person to write an OpenBullet config for that form.
