:I have installed [http://recaptcha.net/ reCAPTCHA] on my site, and have not suffered any vandalism since. --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] 09:46, 30 August 2007 (EDT)
I believe reCaptcha has been cracked. Many sites that are using it are reporting increasing spam. Maybe FancyCaptcha would be a better option? (I've seen discussion of this on the mwusers.com forums) [[User:Gwsuperfan|Gwsuperfan]] 23:38, 4 July 2011 (PDT)

John, thanks for your efforts to organize this. My feeling is that although spam is an ongoing issue, it is under control here. The half life is short, and it seems like we are catching just about all of it, quite quickly. It is good to get this education about what mechanisms are currently in place, and what the potential tools are for improvement. (I am doing a fair fraction of the initial spam blanking. May have to eventually have more of an official role. But it is good to try to have a system that random anons can be a helpful part of.)
