The last discussions about this that I can remember (and find with a quick search) were OSM-talk threads: - "Hate captchas!!!!" starting March 14, https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-March/069320.html and the "follow-up" to it - "ReMAPTCHA Demo BETA 0.2 online! (Was: Hate captchas!!!!)" starting March 28, https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-March/069526.html
