: Isn't QuestyCaptcha a standard feature of the MediaWiki capthca system? I think it would be much better alternative than an image based based captcha. It is both easier for normal user and more effective against spammers. There are captcha-breaking services in India, where thousands of workers routinely provide answers to captchas.

But even a simple question such as "what is the name of this forum" may be impossible for them to answer, if they only see the captcha. --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]]
