I have one forum that is open for guest posting and they currently have to use the Captcha, but this would this increase security from bots posting.
It would be great to have the Security Question as an option to appear in ALL places where the Captcha now appears, such as guest posting, contact forms from guests, etc.
Thank you!
I could add it as an option in one of the future versions.
Thank you very much for this plugin! I add my vote for the above suggestion from tr549.
I have an additional question about this plugin as it currently exists, and I have not seen any mention about this in the readme file. Are the answers "cap" sensitive? As an example, if an answer for a question is "4|Four" but the user enters in "four" or "FOUR" - will it still work or get rejected?
An additional thought occurred to me as I was typing my above comment. A possible expansion for this plugin. It could still retain the question/answer scenario as it is in effect now, but as an option load an image (one image, multiple images, random image, etc.) of the admin's choosing and pair it with a question that asks something about the image(s). The question could be generic or specific, but would require human reasoning to properly answer. I know this sounds a lot like the Captcha or ReCaptcha systems, but instead of just words these could be images of anything and thus increase the difficulty of getting cracked or auto-machine read.
Possible questions or "trick" questions tied to a photo(s):
What do you see happening in these photos? (anything is possible here)
How many adults are in this photo? (one could be an adult "little person" but chances are only a human would recognize that.)
Is the vehicle moving or parked? (a good shot can show a moving vehicle in still frame as if it was parked.)
How many people are smoking in this picture? (they could be holding a cigarette in their hand or have it in their mouth. Or they might not be smoking at all, or they could be holding something else.)
What time does the clock say? (analog clock, digital, sundial, a clock that looks like something else, no clock at all, a board or screen with a bunch of numbers and the clock is right there in it.)
How many fish are on the stringer the man is holding up? (they could be all bunched up at the bottom of a string and difficult for a machine to auto-recognize.)
etc. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
Just a thought.
