    Currently I'm working on my own PHP based captcha solution. Nothing fancy, just a simple addition or subtraction.

    See example:

    I like that solution. Think it should prevent most bots.
    But, like with all the security/anti spam policies - it's a tradeoff between (user) convenience and safety. Main advantage of v3 captcha is that it can be set to completely invisible, only stepping in when the activity looks like a bot. Seems to work pretty good for now (knock on wood).

    Yes, that's a big trade of this with captcha. I mean it started to annoy me even when I was testing and tweaking it. I might give up on this and stick with v3 until I start getting messages again...

    Thanks for your useful advice.

  • Consider adding a hidden input field with JS, most bots won't be rendering the JS to do it. The caveat is that your users should also have javascript enabled to use the form.

    For you Wordpress users, apparently you can massively reduce spam by removing the "URL" field in your comment form.

    Why do I have the impression that you're pointing a gun at us?
