I don't think that the math-test would prevent much spam. It's very easy to automatically read and solve these equations.
Would a verified note submission (e.g. the user provides his eMail-address and he gets a message where he has to click on a link to publish his note) be a better solution? Personally, I think that even that may be bypassed.

I would be in favour of implementing a basic mathematical skill-testing question a la Lukas Smith's blog at http://pooteeweet.org -- it is a protection method that is still accessible to the visually impaired, unlike classic CAPTCHA.Agreed, spammers suck, but CAPTCHAs too.Don't let the spammers win! :)Not at all ;-) What about: "basic mathematical skill-testing question" ?
