Of course, if you do, feel free to share it. I'd be interested in how you gathered it.
I have some experience from a wiki I'm running, which has a rather long signup form.
Most spammers (to be exact: their bots) fill _every_ field. If a fieldname is unknown to them, they usually fill the field with stuff that would be a good password ;-)
This also means that one of my spam defenses is having a field that is hidden by CSS - if it is filled, it's a sure sign for a spammer...
Spammers who register manually are very rare - but those are impossible to detect in advance.
Interesting. Of course, some field validation would also prevent the bots from working, too, but it's got to be field validation that a human would pass.
