Hi, you know if this is posible? i would like to activate Guest posting, but the captchas from default not stops the bot spamers, i want to see if with this reduces the spammers.

Here is the captcha:

http://areyouahuman.com/

Thanks
Definitely possible, but it takes a while before that captcha is loaded due to the intensive structure behind it (in my experience).
Works great for me. Does take a few seconds to load, but the english that lets them know it's loading is very understandable. I got rid of the word captcha and 'question captcha' all together.

The default captcha is completely useless to stop bot accounts, and the google captcha is complete garbage which can barely be read. Maybe there's something wrong with my eyes, but I normally need to refresh it 5 or 6 times before I get one that can be read.

Question captcha needs to be updated regularly if your site is popular because the question and answer can be manually entered into the bots algorithm and then spun out to all bots.

Haven't had a single spam account since I installed areyouhuman 6 months or so back. It's excellent. Works with GoMobile as well.
Well I can probably rewrite my old mod http://mods.mybb.com/view/are-you-a-human-captcha to work with everything if you'd like.

Yes.
maybe i'm misunderstanding, but this plugin has been working great for me. just activate it and set it up at are-you-a-human. it will stop all bot registrations

actually, the are-you-a-human team didn't know the plugin was working. i emailed them to let them know mybb wasn't on the list of supported software... they wrote back saying it didn't work and had contacted the creator of the plugin, but hadn't received any response... i said hey, it's working fine, test it on my site. they said 'hey, you're right! thanks for letting us know, we'll add it'

Quote:Hey,

Thanks for getting back to me. Look at that—it does work! I'm surprised because we wrote to that developer repeatedly a few months ago and he never got back to us. Looks like he fixed the problem, but just never told us.

Thanks for letting us know! We'll make this available to everyone through our site.

Best,

this was in august... but anyways, there it is
