Is there a Q & A spam prevention for WordPress?

  • Hi!

    The only captha that really seems to work for my PHPBB forums is the Q & A capthca which simply lets the admin define questions and a range of correct answers to them in order to make it impossible for spambots to write posts.

    I tried to search, but couldn’t find a Q&A captcha for wordpress. Does one exist?

    Don’t bump and check out this search for “captcha” in the plugins.

    Somewhere in that search you may find what you are looking for.

    Using the search was the first thing I did. I also searched google a lot, but could only find plugins that make questionarys for fun. No Q&A captcha. That is very strange for me considering it is pretty much the only captcha that can’t really be broken.

    No CAPTCHA can survive a human that’s receiving financial incentives for solving it, and with an army of low-wagedIndia CAPTCHA breakers human CAPTCHA solvers officially in the business of “data processing” while earning a mere $2 for solving a thousand CAPTCHA’s

    Captcha does not work.

    With CAPTCHA’s on, SPAM and failed conversions accounted for 7.3% of all the conversions for the 3 month period. With CAPTCHA’s off, SPAM conversions accounted for 4.1% of all the conversions for the 3 month period. That possibly means when CAPTCHA’s are on, the company could lose out on 3.2% of all their conversions!

    Captcha is just a PITA for real people.

    Q & A captchas work very well for phpbb forums, I am using them currently on several websites.

    Of course if you involve manual human labour you can break any captcha, but it’s going to cost you and that fact alone will reduce spam dramatically. Also, payed captcha breakers are probably interested in highly ranked websites and not on some small 1000 visitor blogs.
