I don't like you have to register to get a key. Why not a simple captcha? |

Maybe you need a key so that they can block specific users from contributing to the effort if they start abusing it. |

As I'm working at Issue 36 , I will add a graphic mathematical captcha, so the bots will have a hard time spamming you :P . Already added the pagination and the front-end gravatar feature. |

hi Bdesign, a regular captcha is easy to break and is defenseless against spammers. recaptcha seems to be the only kind of captcha that hasn't been broken yet. |

Yep, but when you use FreeType + GD2 + a little second grade math should do the trick. At least that's what I think... |

If there are genuine reasons for users having a preference either way :) would it be worth having both?? |

Or maybe akismet?? Should that be good for everyone? |

@Bdesign - "Or maybe akismet"... Also requires a key, and "free" only in non-commercial settings, I believe, but widely used and worth having, IMO! |

@all - the beauty of Open Source is that you have choice... if some people prefer recaptcha or akismet or something else... and someone else is prepared to implement such a plugin, why not? :-) As for me personally... I don't believe in using external tooling like Akismet or Recaptcha. I don't like the dependencies. But that's me... So for me, a classic but well implemented captcha is preferred. It is silly to think that any solution will provide a 100% coverage, so I expect about 90%. The problem with many/most captchas is that they are poorly implemented and thus easily broken/negated. |
