I figured you'd use JS for this, but a lot of bots don't even run javascript or they could purposely disable it, e.g. with Ubot you can disable javascript in IE. How about storing info in the PHP session? you could time the different between page load and form submission as that's a sure-fire way to detect comment spam. @Andy – good idea – to catch false positives without losing comments.

Another idea: is it possible to give people with UGC_SCORE<X a captcha? That way people that have been on the site for awhile don't need to solve one, and the people that went to your site with a specific purpose in mind (entering content) can still submit.
