Status in Manage and Present Beautiful Publications: Fix Committed

Bug description:
There is no protection against spammers registering and there is insufficient protection against spammers commenting (only a honeypot field). 
A few possible solutions:

#. Prevent more than one registration or comment from same IP address every hour.
#. Implement Recaptcha for registration. Will this be sufficient to prevent comment spam?
#. Hook up to Aksim
#. Search for URLs in comments and mark those comments as spam (will require warning on article page for non-spam users).
