Thanks for all your work on the wiki. But is this an efficient way to
prevent spam? It looks exhausting to me and I have doubts it will
stop the robots from finding the pages. Additionally it will lower
rankings in search engines, wich will then result in less benefit for the
community and less contributions thereof. The vicious circule.

I would think of a stronger captcha, if robots still mangage to post
spam through the current. Maybe a captcha, that is altered in a special
way, so that it differs from the thousand standard captchas a little.
I.e. by changing the parameter names or by adding an individual JS
encryption of the values. Something like that. 

Wouldn't that be less work? It's just an impression.

Regards

Elmar
