We've been getting spam account creation and some accounts that appear to be bots<http://docs.webplatform.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=9> .<http://docs.webplatform.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=9> I've noticed that we have been using this<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#MathCaptcha>for registering a new account. I was hoping maybe we could switch to this <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#Asirra>instead. It's a little ugly and you might have to beautify it to make the it match the site well but it works a lot better for preventing bot accounts. Bots have a hard time identifying cats from dogs. They get past that math captcha pretty easily though. Does anyone have any better captcha ideas? I'm curious if anyone knows something that would work better or if you guys thinking switching it is necessary.
