Hi,
If you are going to use captcha I would recommend using recaptcha. Not because it is any better, but because by using re-captcha you actually get your users to help the process of scanning all the books of the world.
By using the words from the scanned books that the worlds best OCR readers can't determine, And then doing the usual warping and other other things.
But now the spam sites are passing your captcha onto real people so then they will enter your captcha to so they can spam your site. So sometime I think captcha is a bit pointless. But a least it is helping things.
see http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html for more information. I use it on a couple of sites just because of this reason.

If you are getting spam, you should like also of one of the captcha modules: http://drupal.org/project/captcha http://drupal.org/project/recaptcha http://drupal.org/project/riddler
Or any of the other security modules: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/69

Evening all.. is it possible to set posts older than say 60 days to not allow comments? I get 1500 or so spams a day and a good majority of them
come from older posts so turning that off would be fab.
Thanks and don't forget to move the clocks in the U.S. :)
