Hi BHW,

Thought i'd share this nifty little captcha plugin I came across. Once installed, visitors to your site must complete a simple jigsaw like puzzle before they can comment on your blog/forum.

I have a whitehat site which gets an "okay" amount of traffic from the search engines, but I don't get a lot of comments (a lot of spam though, lol). I installed this plugin a few days ago, and the spam stopped, and I started getting more comments. I think people just like completing the puzzles, lol.

Anyway, here is the site.

Code:
https://www.keycaptcha.com/

You basically fill out the details at the bottom right of the screen, your URL, platform: CMS (Wordpress, Drupal, SMF, vBulleting etc). It will then ask you to complete your registration where they give you a license key and your free plugin to upload to your blog/forum.

Enjoy!!

If you do not get a lot of comments, then your site is not interesting for professional spammers, only to amateurs and rather silly ones.

KeyCAPTCHA is created by professional spammers and financed from revenues of spam.

It stops spam on the site and by amateurs in order to delivers spam directly to browsers of visitors and by professional spammers.
What is loaded from backservers of KeyCAPTCHA (and directly) into browsers of visitors is uncontrollable and even not viewable by webmaster/owner of a "protected" by it resource.

There were numerous reports that spam increased many times after installing KeyCAPTCHA.

KeyCAPTCHA is spamming, sometimes and in tricky ways. It doesn't spam in order to expand the client base and promote favorable (but deceptive) publicity.
Even when it spams it is being done selectively,
Only when there are advertisers (and they do not have many, yet) and to visitors according to interests of advertiser (e.g., region, age, etc.).

It is not reproducible since spam is delivered only during restricted period of time and after passing the KeyCAPTCHA once it stops.

I cannot insert links but what I wrote is easily searchable on the internet
