Description Bertrand GRONDIN 2007-12-04 09:57:38 UTC
The ConfirmaAccount extension is now spammed by bot from porn sites.

The problem : ConfirmEdit captcha extension doesn't run with this extension since some weeks. Préviously, bot  s were'nt able to submit ConfirmAccount form when ConfirmEdit captcha was actived on this extension. 

I think it will be a good idea to reactivate confirmedit captcha on ConfirmAccount form.

By example, my own wiki is spammed on ConfirmAccount form.
Comment 1 Bertrand GRONDIN 2007-12-15 12:17:51 UTC
It's very urging to solve this problem. Bots spam the extension form dayly on my wiki. I'm tired to refuse theses account requests
Comment 2 Aaron Schulz 2007-12-29 03:42:27 UTC
This will be fixed next commit.
Comment 3 Aaron Schulz 2008-01-05 23:31:29 UTC
