Phoca Guestbook Spam Problem - suggestion to the author

[mapper]

Hi would like to suggest the author to change the captcha generation system included in Phoca Guestbook. Look for example at the website captchasniper . com , as you can see, two of three captcha used by you are already been broken.
Here you can find info about another robot that automatically recognize the phoca captcha: ixrumer . com/general/31-new-xrumer-708.html
I think a text question chosen by the user or updating the captcha system more often can help reduce the spam.

Hi, in fact all the captcha are easily to read for robots and human spammers but not for standard users - chaning captcha is in fact no solution (in phoca guestbook you can enable chaning of the captcha methods, so the robot does not know which captcha method is comming to be displayed) See:

https://www.phoca.cz/documents/3-phoca-g ... -from-spam

After new captcha will be set, it is a question of some days, it will be solved by robots or human spammers

Anyway thank you for the information, I will take a look at it.

Maybe one of "solutions" should be field whith custom security question. For example "How much is three plus four written as word?".

So my question is, if you don´t plan this feature to implement in future versions of Phoca Guestbook?
