I’ll Fix you Spam Bots!

So after an epic fail of my funny yet easily foiled addon to prevent spam by using a math question before someone or something can post, I have found a captcha related plugin that should solve the bot issue. Take that eyeless bot, hah!
And for added bonus, since I’m a registered user with a login, I don’t have to go through the captcha security so I can freely post replies without the check as long as I’m already logged in! Spiffy!

Thank you baby Jesus. Now I can put away that darned calculator for when I want to make posts.

Darn, I was hoping for reCAPTCHA! Solve captchas, read books!
(Yeah, shameless plug.)

I <3 reCAPTCHA. Everytime I utilize a service that has a captcha, I feel obligated to go read some ancient text I just helped digitize.

Ironically, even if spam bots can read reCAPTCHA, they suddenly start providing a useful utility to society. So even if we lose, we kinda win!
