			<description><![CDATA[Sorry, but people who say &quot;Don't make me think!&quot; should be banned from the whole web. Because many of them are responsible for the huge success of spammers, fishing websites and other malicious things. <br />
Every kind of captcha has it's disadvantages. And it's also a question of audience. But people who are able to decode strange grafics (many of them have their difficoulties, not just blind people) should be able to answer simple questions. (The above is asking in which language the question is by the way)<br />
And if people would use their brain a bit more when browsing the web, the need of over-compicated captchas would be much lower. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[That's a definite overdose: most users will leave your site forever rather than trying to figure out what<br />
<blockquote>in welcher Sprache stelle ich dir diese Frrage? (Klingonisch ist es nicht):</blockquote>
is. <br />
I would assume that ANY captcha is a 99% protection for a low-to-medium ranking site which 99% of all Cotonti sites are. If a spammer is trying to place ads at your site, &quot;ban by email&quot; is good for nothing, since switching to a different public mailserver is a one-minute job.<br />
As regards &quot;top-10&quot; megasites, an overcomplicated captcha might inevitably cause loss of audience in comments (don't make me think!). Such websites require &quot;manual&quot; moderation anyway, so once again this is not the case to play quiz with your unauthenticated visitors.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I highly recommend the question based captcha. Since my site primarely is for a special language audience, I can use localiced questions which the bots are not able to answer. Absolutely no spam until now. <br />
Grafical captchas are no longer the best solution, not only because of accessibility issues. I'm visually impaired and use <a href="http://www.webvisum.com" rel="nofollow">Webvisum</a> to read them out, and it's likely that even the spammers have such tools. <br />

<br />
The math Captcha does its work very well, I can recommend it. Since we installed this on our Seditio site after we too were being swamped with bots we never had a bot register ever again and we will continue to use it on our Cotonti website.<br />
<br />
Of course as said Math Captcha too does not prevent any moron to manually register to spam his (*&amp;^&amp;(]]></description>

<br />
Very TRUE, but captcha is not the miracle cure for unwanted registrars..  <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/smile.gif" alt=":)" /> , But it IS the cure for BOTS !<br />
<br />
I will try the captcha soon  <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/sunglasses.gif" alt="B)" />]]></description>

What if the next batch of spambots will use @yahoo.com? <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Install captcha and forget about the problems.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Kort is right, over 40 from the same account or from the same ip means an automated thing, and captcha will prevent that for sure.<br />
<br />
@Rayblo<br />
Did you just use mail.ru in the banlist ???, can you provide details ?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Having over 40 junk accounts a day means you do not use captcha at registration or there is a very persistant (but not necessarily Russian) guy trying to use your site to advertise. Either way this is an indication that you do not provide basic protection for your site rather than a Russian threat.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anybody getting a LOT of spam accounts from guys with mail.ru as their e-mail. I was banning IPs because I figured it was an isolated incident. Today I have over 40 junk accounts. On the same thought is there a way to disallow registration with a mail.ru e-mail? Banlist says it doesn't support wildcards for e-mail.<br />
<br />
Just wanted to know if it was a Cotonti thing, or just my site personally.]]></description>
