Image Validation at Registration

Hi!

I am interested in having an image validation when somebody register like on rapidshare.

How it works:

An image is randomly generated which shows some letters and numbers. The user needs to enter them in one field. It is quite easy for the users, but a spambot cannot read an image.

Has anyone ever tried this in geeklog? Is there such a hack?

I was about to ask you "what about blind people?" but with the recent sleeper accounts, looks like e-mail authorization is not enough (read: image validation should ADD to it - not replace it!).

So try Simple GL Captcha (image - why wasn't this image uploaded to said link?) and report back what you think.

Or be the first one who implemented QuickCaptcha in Geeklog and came back to tell us about it (although it's so unreadable I think it's equally meant to defeat human beings).

I will try Simple GL Captcha because the other one is hard to read Smile

"What about blind people"

This page I am administrating is a page for an enemy territory (an egoshooter)
community. I dont think any blind people will take part in it.
