CAPTCHA Anti spam v1
Because of accessability issues this mod is no longer being updated. please use the Gatekeeper mod instead
This mod may help prevent bots (web robots) from doing the following on your forum;
1. Registering accounts automatically
2. Posting link spam automatically
3. Emailing your members automatically
It does this by asking the user to read an image and type the characters into a textfield. The characters are designed so that a computer cannot work out what they are. This is called a CAPTCHA test - Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. For more information on Captcha's see - http://www.captcha.net/
There are four captcha patterns included in the form of sub's; Grid, Lines, Circles and drawCode. If you wish to write new captcha patterns you will find the code in captcha.asp. Please share any patterns you create, the more patterns included the harder it will be for robots to crack.

I don't see the point in having a captcha for logged in users then.<

But if a spam bot isn't a registered user, they can't register/post anyway... and if they are a registered user, they've already gotten past the CAPTCHA, which would indicate a bigger problem.<

To stop SPAM botsSpam bots won't be logged in and have to do a HTTP POST directly to post_info.asp. Having a captcha where you've included them e.g. quick reply, is just making your users enter the captcha and not preventing bots.<

hi Podge
am in the process of implementing the captcha, which would be great if it worked... A snag I found. In pop_mail.asp you tell me to replace
if YEmail <> "" then Response.Write(YEmail)
et cetera
with something else. However: in my pop_mail.asp (version 3.4.06) there is no such line . There are only if YEmail = "" lines. So, what do I do?
Cheers

The captcha mod was for version 3.4.05.
For accessability reasons I don't intend to update it. Please use the Gatekeeper mod instead.<

Well, that's interesting news.
Perhaps you should edit your original post accordingly?<

The download page at SnitzBitz has shown that for some time but I have updated the original topic.
They are more or less the same changes as applied to pop_mail.asp for the Gatekeeper mod. If I get a chance I will post a fix tomorrow.<
