moonlitnight rated 3 weeks ago- Nice tool to fight spam

- Great idea, it just should have a SOAP/Web Service implementation.
- BlueHawke rated 3 months ago
- It's a good idea but sometimes it's unreadable.

- this is pretty cool, Im sure I will use this on my own site....

- I've seen this one used before, it's nearly impossible to read. last.fm uses it. I probably went through 20-30 to find one I could read. Their 'to sound' didn't work either.

- Stumbleupon seems to ask for captcha verification only a couple of times when commenting. Furthermore, this one is actually pretty clear. I'll probably be using this on my own website soon.

- Prevent bots from spamming your website. reCAPTCHA is one of the best and most secure CAPTCHA-generators available. And it's free. Another great thing about it is that you're actually helping to digitize books. StumbleUpon has already implemented it, why don't you?

- Very cool tech; this should head off future spammers from SU. Better still, you're helping to get books digitised for the internet archive! What could be cooler? If you've got a problem reading the text, there's always the reload button.

- Captcha quickly determines if you are a real stumbler or a spamming bot, then it goes away. It's a very temporary inconvenience and well worth the bother. I suspect most of the thumbs down are from frustrated spammers, because the very slight and temporary bother is NOT worth all the fuss otherwise.
