Captchas.  Dunno what to do if you need ADA compliance though.

I'm suffering from wiki spam at the moment, and there's
no captcha code available for the wiki I'm using yet :-(

We have it under control on our Movable Type blog by requiring
postings to be moderated, and using the internal spam filter
to cut down on going through the junk looking for real
postings.  Unfortunately it's not very good and frequently
puts good posts in the junk file for moderation :-(
