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?

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
