As someone who has been fighting against spam for a long time, I am pretty experienced in what to do. The key is to have a unique system. Spambots are able to adapt to almost anything if someone has enough time to program them, but people generally only program tools to get around the common CAPTCHAs (like the old reCAPTCHA, math problem ones, and a few other common forum plugins). However, if your website uses something unique (it could be something as simple as recognizing shapes, as long as it's not something commonly used), then you have successfully defeated spambots. One I suggested earlier is that you do something like this:

<triangle>
Click the image that is the same shape as the image above:
<square> <circle> <upside-down triangle> <star>

That would be extremely easy, and doesn't even require any language proficiency. However, since I haven't seen it on any other websites, it would be extremely effective (the one I used to use on my website just involved clicking on one letter and had about a 1/5000 failure rate).

Yep. Support.

Prohaps a system where there would be random “tests” where the person would have to complete (very simple, not very complicated, like “enter these numbers” or “Slide to verify”)

Support. I also have another kind of puzzle.

You would have to match up a picture with the correct word.
