It was a tough idea to make successful with a lot of question marks. Users hate captcha's. advertisers don't want to be associated with spam (in any way) and I wonder if the comment form is a good moment to distract people from what they want to do with ads. We did use it as an extra incentive for advertisers for a while but found out they weren't that interested.
