If you could configure the Homepage field to _not_ print a hyperlink but just print the URL, OR if we would insert the hyperlink with javascript (so that it was useless to most crawlers), a lot of this human submitted spam would go away. Drupal's comment configuration options are very much to blame for the trend we're seeing. I hacked the comment module on Robshouse.net to not print hyperlinks.
