[geeklog-devel] Geeklog.net Captcha

[Tom]

Ok,

I installed both the latest version of Captcha and the reCaptcha plugin on
Geeklog.net.

Currently I have Captcha enabled with the slider on. I have tested a few
posts and everything seems to be working fine.

I also tested the reCaptcha plugin and forgot that I need to update the
Geeklog forum. The forum doesn't work with reCaptcha at the moment (I just
have to update one forum file, I have it working fine on another site)

I also had an issue with the  reCaptcha plugin. The reCaptcha displayed fine
but I could enter anything into the recaptcha field and it would accept it.
I know the recaptcha plugin works as I am using it on some other sites
without any problems.  The one difference is that Geeklog.net uses https now
instead of http. Could this be the issue Kenji ITO?

Tom

I have had the same experience as well. I have also installed the latest
Captcha plugin (3.5.2) and still get the occasional  spammer getting
through.

The Captcha plugin uses a jQuery plugin called QapTcha
(http://www.myjqueryplugins.com/jquery-plugin/qaptcha)

Captcha Plugin
Pros
- Very easy to use by user
- Supports touch interfaces
Cons
- Not sure how long it has been around

reCAPTCHA Plugin
Pros
- Run by Google who constantly tweak it to make it harder on the spam bots
- These tweaks do not require any changes on our part Cons
- Everyone uses it so the spambots are familiar with how to attack it
- CAPTCHA's be hard to read

So, which CAPTCHA plugin are we going to install on geeklog.net? Because
we're still getting those spam user signups.

FWIW, I've installed the reCAPTCHA plugin on my 2 blogs and I still get the
occasional spam user (still the same sort, it seems) but it's not the
onslaught that it was before.

bye, Dirk
