It is an indication that the standard capture has been targeted and exploited. The capture needs to be taken out of the core and placed as a plugin.

Diversity is the only way as spammers will exploit known defaults. 

I am aware it is impossible for any capture to stay hack proof. All I am saying is that it is pretty obvious what we have has been hacked. Prob the screen location is known and maybe it might be a bot doing OCR. I dunno.

If we had the capture as a plugin then we could gain diversity through the oxwall store.

Quote from Aliia almost any Captcha can be hacked.

For signup the captch is required and it doesn't seem to do a thing. A custom required signup question stops spam completely.

That result is indicative that the oxwall capture isn't doing a thing for me and from what I read on the forum others either.

How many of the community get better results or no spam from a custom required sign-up question?

Please post so we can get some results.

We need the capture code removed from the core and placed as a plugin mechanism so it is easy for us all to change and diversify capture methods and placement and style.

I must be missing some reasoning here as I do think the spam is due to popularity and do understand the irony of providing good software.

What I don't understand is the reluctance to remove the capture from the core and allow diversity through capture plugins?

The standard captcha module in the registration form some bots easily leave.

Allia I don't think oxwall should create another captcha, just to move the current captcha mechanism out of the core and place it as a plugin. That way developers can provide the diversity and lessen the work for oxwall.

Move captcha to the plugin and allow the administrator to change it to its decision without making changes to the core.
