Anti-Spam Options - KeyCAPTCHA - Interactive CAPTCHA with Social Features

I can't say for sure, but I looked at it and I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work. It doesn't use the same hooks or anything like that.

May have to go back to 30 seconds which is what I used before but didn't actually test myself.

FWIW I have this set at 30 seconds and haven't had a single bot get through.

But are you concerned about humans filling out the form in less than 30 seconds?

I'm using 20 and it works great for me, love this mod.

I've also successfully tested a nice way to catch thieves trying to buy via my icart with stolen Credit Card. Once I have some time I will implement for registration. You give them a list of country where they are for them to select. Then you create a function to grab country from IP. if they don't match then you stop them. Recently a fraudster with a Canada IP made a purchase with a Credit Card from France. Of course he got caught. 2 days later the legitimate credit card owner filed an unauthorized claim.

No. I have a dozen required fields. No one could possibly fill them all in under 30 seconds.

Still monitoring via emails from the 4 forums with now well over 1000 registrations blocked since yesterday morning (I won't be continuing to look at all thse emails for very much longer). I've seen times as long as 27 or 28 seconds since I bumped the setting to 30 seconds and it's obvious from the structure of the usernames and email addresses that they're bots (you can spot most of them after a while - the bots aren't very good at constructing fake names and one even had an "@bypass-captcha.com" email address!). None of the blocked registrations have been actual humans.

Kevin, if you want I could PM you the function to grab country code from IP then you verify it vs selected country? A bot will never guess from a list of 100 ++ countries

This thing is amazing. I just made a sale and the country Great Britain from IP was verified by PayPal user address.

I have mine set at about 25. So far no humans blocked that I can see, and I have a very short registration form. No CAPTCHA (since, really, who is this stopping now other than delaying human registrants), but all my verification questions require identifying something in an image. And I often use the same questions for different pictures. So that buys me those few seconds a human would need. So far, so good.
