Line 74:
: RC uses an extension based off of the SimpleCaptcha MediaWiki extension. Show me some options that build on SimpleCaptcha, and we can look at changing up the captchas. Keep in mind many of RC's users are not very good with English. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 22:32, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
::Ahh I failed to realise that the Captcha system is part of the mediawiki software, and not some custom code that we might tweak easily to fit our needs. My bad--[[User:Grondilu|Grondilu]] 02:26, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
: 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. It is very easy for them to type in the text they see in the image (especially since they have lots of practice). 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]]
