Topic: Captcha implementation

High amount of spam in this forum itself implies that punBB requires some spam prevention technique. Since captcha is used to prevent spam, why not implement one in punBB?

Re: Captcha implementation

There is official extension which adds Q&A Captcha. Also you can find StopForumSpam extension created by one of PunBB developers.
Image captchas or any other captcha won't be implemented in the core of PunBB. Read about this software, his ideology and plans.

Re: Captcha implementation

Most of the spammers are probably human spammers, not bots.

Re: Captcha implementation

That makes sense. I guess that banning them is the only possible solution then.
