[nfbcs] Captcha

Tue Feb 28 19:48:26 UTC 2012

Peter,

>From what I saw, the CFFormsProtect solution was best suited to BLOGS and spam blocking and seemed less effective to me as a general solution.  Both they and you have used the phrase "spam killer" and 
SPAM is somewhat of a different problem than automated attempts to log into a site.  I think that taking an approach that gets the user out of the 
loop has possibilities and they present a good example of doing that for particular kinds of access, but I don't think the Cold Fusion community has found a general magic answer.  Having said that, part of the 
problem is that web site developers want a simple solution that does not involve any monitoring or interaction on their part, and I don't know if that is realistic.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
