reCAPTCHA spam-prevention check

[ariana-paris]

Original issue 17 created by ariana-paris on 2008-04-11T22:09:23.000Z:

We will want to enable reCaptcha spam-prevention: http://recaptcha.net/

This will go into Comments at least but may be desirable in other places too. There may already be a Rails plugin for this.

An existing plugin (which could use some tweaking, but still):

Would we also want the CAPTCHA for account creation to prevent bots from creating accounts if annonymous comments are disallowed?

Comments should all be cleaned up and working smoothly for beta. \o/

Moving this to post-beta -- for comments we'll use Defensio, for account creation right now we're safe since we'll be operating on the invite system, and anyway because we confirm via email it's pretty safe to begin with.

We are actually using Akismet and it's been working great for us without requiring captchas at all.
