I tend to find recaptcha to be less accurate.
It allows a certain fudge factor when entering words with similar looking letters. If you try, you can purposely enter two wrong words and it will verify, as long as the letters you entered look similar. Try replacing e with o and r with n etc. |

Agreed Bellardia,
The best spam prevention i've seen is using the built in akismet filters and the human verification question and answer methods. I've used that setup on numerous forums to stop automated spam dead in its tracks |

Either way, what are you disagreeing with me with? We had a huge number of discussion here in October when several people's boards were suddenly getting deluged with spam. Several people pointing out ReCAPTCHA's flaws. So I'm not sure if you're disagreeing with that, or disagreeing with my point that security questions are much harder for bots to guess. |

It's stopped it on mine too. I'm going by the reports of many other members who have reported it being circumvented.

Just to let you know I run a board with reCAPTCHA, and I've been spammed by Xrummer 5.
I have seen a method to trick it thinking it's failed to register so I will try this method. |

I had about 100 spam posts everyday once I switched to 3.8.0. I used the email verification thing, and now I'm just watching the spam users register, and my board statistics go up, but them not being able to post.
