Hi, I wonder if you are the right person to tighten up the Captcha rules? You wrote on Spam that you added some, but it looks like the image is always "+1" and I think the spammers have worked this out too. It would really help to make this a little bit more difficult to reduce the number of automatic registrations. What do you think?

Sorry to write this on your talk page but it seems a good way to contact you :) Leo 03:19, 13 August 2013 (PDT)

Hi Leo, I see your request only now (better drop me an email!). Yes, the +1 thing is a silly workaround but also other tricks in other wikis which I control did not help. The spammers do not use that mechanism at all but inject stuff in a different way which we don't know (cross-site scripting or whatever). For sure an update of this mediawiki installation would help! OSGeo-SAC is the partner for that. Best, Markus Neteler 00:17, 31 July 2014 (PDT)
