[geeklog-devel] Captcha Plugin and Forum Spam

[Tom]

This could potentially be a lot of users to track....

IMO it is still easier to upgrade the captcha/recaptcha than to implement an update like this into Geeklog.

Plus if you get a constant flood of spam it's going to be a pain to go through it all every day to find those good posts to approve.

I may take a look at the upgraded recaptcha solution later if I get a chance

Maybe it’s easier that the first approved submission or comment will turn OFF the submission queue?
That will catch all users that are submitting large amounts of postings.
