can we force captcha's to be able to create an account? as was pointed out, all the spam is creating accounts first. so if we can block those accounts we can stop that trouble.

if the spam then starts coming in via anon edits we cross that bridge when we come to it.

Yes, we could limit CAPTCHAs for the registration, but the bots could still edit anonymously.

Can we limit creations of new sites to somehow users with a certain number of edits or something?

Seems like the bots all want to create new sites, and I doubt that they will turn to vandalism when they can't do that...

I don't think so, at least not out of the box. Someone tell me if I'm wrong.
But we could limiting creating new pages to registered users and only allow editing to anonymous users.

that sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.

Doesn't WIKI do something where making a link in an edit requires a CAPTCHA if you're new?

Yeah, I just read that. You can define on certain parameters that a CAPTCHA is necessary. One of them is a new link.

The best solution is to use a tiny bit of custom code rather than captchas. 

Want to create a new account?

Answer this, what is the best $2 card in Dominion?

The Captcha extension also provides customizable questions for something like that rrenaud.
If I have time tomorrow, I try to implement these.

The answer to such questions will always be "depends on the kingdom".  :)

I like the following:

- Captcha (or Dominion-related question, like "What Victory card costs $5 and gives you 3 VP?") on registration. Otherwise, you can register without admin approval.
- Either no anonymous editing or no anonymous page creation. I think I prefer no anonymous editing, but maybe some people think that poses too much of a barrier to new users.
- No captcha for each edit. That would be annoying.

That should keep out most or all spammers, right?

Actually it was going to be "Fairgrounds with Highway in play and 15 uniques in deck" but it was too long to fit in the box.

I just crosspost:

Spam feature activated. There are now Dominion related questions when you create an account, create a page, add links or did a bad login.
Admins and Bots are excluded from this list.
So you can still anonymously edit a page without a Captcha, but only when you do not add links. If this isn't restriction enough, then I can change this later.
Let me know if this works.

No spam so far and I just ask: Something else that needs to be done before going public?
