Hey there,
I know, this isn't the right sub-forum to ask but I don't know which one would fit better.
Posts by spambots are getting more and more frequent and this is extremely annoying.
Although most of these posts get deleted by mods within a couple of hours it would be much better (and less annoying) to add a captcha when creating new threads and/or when registering.
regards, Kartoffel.

Thanks for the answer.
And at least spambots shouldn't be able to pass the captcha.
(systems like reCaptcha are actually pretty secure against bots)

@JCL: if you talk about the Voice-Abuse, that's been fixed long time ago(afaik)

Most Captchas have an option to listen to the Captcha. These soundfiles were used last year, as it was VERY easy to use speech-recognition on them to get the characters. Todais captcha-sounds include some subtle(a human can not hear it) noise to prevent this.

For what it's worth, we've had Captchas on the Dungeon-Deities forums and there were still spambots posting.
Not saying that maybe Captchas haven't improved in the meantime, so perhaps nowadays they're able to stop them, just adding another datapoint.
Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.
Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!
