Hi Jochen,
you won't be able to keep up that way.
Here's a system that has been effective for me for a while:
- accept unrestricted edits from identified users, who have clicked once
to set a (permanent) username cookie
- block edits by anonymous users which contain more than N occurrences
of "http://", where N is 0, 1, or whatever. Give some kind of indication
so that the legitimate anonymous user knows what happened and how to
become identified to remove the restriction. Trade-off - if you make
this hurdle too low the spammers may jump it.
