Dastardly fun from Herman Martinus, who runs Bear Blog, on a very special UX implemented on the page when a user is determined to be a spammer: When spam is detected, clear the form (so all the info needs to re-typed) and throw an error, eg: "Our servers are bearly managing. Try again later." Disable pasting in all text areas.
