CAPTCHA...

[IgnoredOne]

It has been too long ago since when I've signed up, but is there a form of CAPTCHA on signup to prevent and reduce spambots from exploiting the bulletin system?

 

[Badjedidude]

Nope.

PM bjarne if you want to discuss it with him.

 

[VanillaCreme]

No, but that's a good idea.

 

[Pheenix]

Indeed it is, can't believe there isn't.

 

[EveWasFramed]

It's advertsing that bjarne allows (I assume to help with the costs of keeping the site going).

 

[Cerberus]

I had to clear a captcha.

 

[Pheenix]

Hm... Spam is allowed you say?

 

[bjarne]

To clear up the confusion in this thread: Of course there is a captcha on the signup page. If there wasn't, the spam level would be one milliion times worse :-D

It is impossible to completely avoid spam, I am watching the current situation and may implement Akismet or another anti-spam measure (a plugin that scans every new posts and if it looks like spam (based on statistics) rejects it).
