We have taken additional action against the comment spam that has been happening including banning certain text from comments as well as limiting the rate anonymous users can comment. Hopefully this will make a big impact and keep you guys from having to put up with this annoying problem.

  OKay, that's a very fair callout. Serves me right for taking the word of my friends and previous comments instead of checking, myself.
  
  In that case, though, is there some way you could just turn off all anonymous commenting site wide until this blows over? Because they've outsmarted the captcha, and that is absolutely terrifying.
  
  Sorry for writing out my own callout before collecting all the facts.

    It’s okay. Unfortunately anonymous comments are widely used and globally editing peoples settings is not something we are willing to do. However we will continue to battle the spammers and are hoping to have better captchas installed soon.
