Thirteen days later, not a single spambot has successfully registered. I've tested the system and it allows at least some human registrations through, so it looks like we have the spambot problem solved for now. Next technical update planned is fixing the wiki so that it's reasonably spambot proof and turning it back on.

Don't worry, if the code is too murky, one can ask for a new one.Jedi Master Spock wrote:There is a known issue that sometimes a human can't quite distinguish the letters in the registration captcha. I hope it doesn't stop too many people from registering.
I know it sucks, and it's often hard to make a difference between 0 and O if the code doesn't put an slash in the zero.
That and how the letters are drawn, which sometimes is just too wild to read properly.
But globally, it really seems to work, ok.
