Wiki update: QuestyCaptch installed

[tjoneslo]

In order to stem the tide of spammers attempting to register and insert their crap. I've installed a new QuestyCaptcha extension.

This will ask one of 11 questions if you attempt to register as a new user or, if as an anonymous or unverified user, you attempt to edit a page and insert links to external websites.

I've attempted to select questions (and answers) which should be pretty obvious to anyone with even a minimal amount knowledge of Traveller. But if you encounter a question you can't figure out, ping me and I'll give you the correct answer(s).

Could this possibly set a one-day cookie or something so it doesn't ask a new question every time a wiki page is edited that has external links on it?

I understand the need for the captcha, but that does get a bit old when making many edits, having to answer a new question every time the page is saved.

I've updated the capcha system to allow users with confirmed email addresses (like you) to no longer have to answer the captch questions. The captch use for stopping spammers from registering their new users is working very well.

Please try this, you should be able to add external links without the captca questions any more.
