Description

Hi!

I had in my Wiki massivley Spam with Viagra and so on... A good idea to stop this is a captcha skript for the forms in Registration and for the Edit pages. So bots cannot use this forms. At the moment i allow only registered users to post but thats not the best solution.

Regards Christian

YodaHome has posted code on the wiki to implement CAPTCHAs ( http://wikkawiki.org/FreeCap). The devs have discussed this matter extensively, and the consensus is that while CAPTCHAs are certainly effective at preventing automated registrations, they raise accessibility issues that will probably preclude CAPTCHAs from being included in the Wikka core.
