An earlier discussion raised the possibility of using a CAPCHA to limit spambots from creating random accounts and inserting Spam on the OOoWiki.

Currently we do not have an overwhelming problem with Spam - but we are not immune to it. For example, a significant portion of the ~22,000 unused user accounts are spam/bot generated.

A possible CAPCHA solution would be: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA This can be tuned, for example, to only require CAPCHAs for new user account creation.

Thoughts or comments? Do we want to implement a CAPCHA on the OOoWiki? Is this a good idea?
