How to stop bots

[Steven G.]

On many sites/forums/blogs etc, there will be an occurrence of those pesky bots, usually spam bots. When it comes to spam bots, how do you stop them from even showing up? Of course there's captcha, and security questions for sign ups, but even those don't always stop them.

What do you do? Do you just ip ban the accounts?
