In Search Of The Perfect CAPTCHA | Smashing Coding - 0 views

  • Try the honeypot method or another that is invisible to users. Some could potentially be bypassed, but their presence is often enough to thwart automated efforts.

      Honeypot for BuddyPress registration didn't work for me at all. There's no random element in the field ID and the checkbox can easily be brute forced (there's only 2 possibilities!).

  • If you are using W3 Total Cache and you have enabled HTML&XML Minify and you use BuddyPress or a custom registration page. Please, go to Performance -> Minify -> Advanced -> "Never minify the following pages:" and add you registration page. If you dont do this, you could have some issues.
  • NOT protect your site from comment spam, WangGuard protect your registration page from sploggers, unwanted users and untrusted users and WangGuard clean your database from them. For comment spam, you have another great plugin, Akismet.
  • It is very important to use WangGuard at least for a week, reporting your site's unwanted users as sploggers from the Users panel. WangGuard will learn at that time to protect your site from sploggers in a much more effective way. WangGuard protects each web site in a personalized way using information provided by Administrators who report sploggers world-wide, that's why it's very important that you report your sploggers to WangGuard. The longer you use WangGuard, the more effective it will become. Upon user registration, WangGuard will check against a centralized database if the user is a Splogger or spam-user. If WangGuard determines that the user is a Splogger, WangGuard won't allow the registration on your site.

  • No need to put any kind of filter in the user registration page (eg captcha). This is the greatness of WangGuard, not hinder users who wish to register on your site with Captchas and other things that just makes the registration being more difficult and in many cases do not stop Sploggers.
