Annoying guest book entries

I keep getting spam entries in my guest book on rescope.com.au. I am pretty sure these are being entered automatically by some kind of bot type thing. Does anyone know how I can prevent/reduce this irritating phenomenon?

I'm not too sure - some sites say the entries will only be put up after they are approved. or have a sign -in. Also - some sites I go to have an automatically generated image that shows say 4 letters and numbers, that you have to type in in order to proceed, I know this is used to reduce spammers - but - SORRY! - I'm not a programmer, so not sure how you would do this...Try going to http://www.pixel2life.com/ and search their tutorials on web design, they also have a discussion board thread, specifically where you can request things... Hope this is of some help.

Thanks Myth... I don't think it has quite reached the stage where I need an authentification dealie, but then i have gotten 4 more fake entries since I posted this so maybe I will before too long...

I presume the guestbook is hosted somewhere else?
