Actually, I'd like to hear the opinions of those website admins who really are affected by spam registrations
I'm not an OSM website admin, but I do run a site that uses a CAPTCHA and my experience is that in recent times it has become almost completely ineffective. The spam posts are created by real humans in low-wage countries who easily pass the test. I have recently, regrettably, decided to block by IP ranges for the countries concerned. OSM may not feel that it is able to be so draconian.
