Guestbook spamming

Hello,Anyone around who knows how to stop guestbook spamming ?
We're being attacked for the moment and only remedy I use so far is changing the user's ID, which is a quite tricky and time-consuming business, because all related tables have to be manually updated too.
Spam still comes through though on the non-existing ID, thus invisible, but database is still loaded with this crap (about 1000 messages a day).
I created a job that removes these entries every four hours.
I know about captcha, but isn't there another solution, because captcha is so user-unfriendly ?
Any help on this very very highly appreciated !
Thanks,
Wim
