    Default New captcha guestbooks not blocking spam anymore

    Hello.

    I was happy to see that BlueVoda had a new guestbook some while ago now with a confirmation code (Captcha), and it did a very good job keeping out the spam, in fact all of it.


    ...Until recently... I have no idea why it started now, but at least two of my pages have been receiving spam in the new Captcha guestbooks, even if this should not be possible, so I'm guessing the rightout number you have to write as the confirmation code is too easy for the spamming bots to read, even if it is an uncopyable image.

    Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

    The two pages receiving spam are - http://www.darksidesithlord.com/my-c...eation-01.html , and - http://www.darksidesithlord.com/my-c...eation-01.html

    some sophisticated spammers are using anti captcha software like this >>> http://www.deathbycaptcha.com/user/login

    Not much we can do about it...

    That might just be it then.

    Well...Dang!

    I'll just hope they won't reach any of my other guestbooks then and try to prevent them from coming to the previous ones.

    I suppose there's no use making the captcha all wobbly either then if they just bypass it anyway.
