My experience is that ReCaptcha is broken and the spammers pass it.
My best experience is with questy captcha as well. You can ask for
something in the interface or some simple question like "How many ears
have got tree elephants?"

You can try ReCaptcha but I found that questy captcha
works really well. I just ask the user a really dumb question like where is Tokyo?

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] CAPTCHA recommendation for account-creation bots?
Spam bots are creating accounts on my music wiki
(
http://www.blazemonger.com/GG/Special:RecentChanges). What is the best extension to
prevent this? I installed ConfirmEdit and tried the default CAPTCHA (SimpleCAPTCHA) but it
didn't stop the bots. Before I experiment with the many other options, I thought
I'd ask what people recommend.
Fortunately the bots can't edit articles, just create useless accounts.
Thanks,
DanB
