Hi :)
+1
There's the old-school;
http://www.captcha.net/
(which is allegedly easy for spam-bots to beat but somehow does still
seem to be in common usage)
and the newer;
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html

Obviously to be done when people first try to create an account but
also also if they return after a long absence, such as 6months - 1
year.  Also maybe every 10th or 20th login or something like that?
Personally i wouldn't find it tiresome to do it every time but maybe
people who are more active might?

Like Peter i am wondering what i am missing because it's a bit of an
obvious answer.

Of the options listed byt Lyz i liked 1, didn't understand what 2 was
trying to describe and not sure about the feasibility of 3.

To communicate with users perhaps a single one-liner in the footer on
all or most pages?  Something like "You can easily join ... to edit
this page - anything from fixing a typo to a full revamp" ?
Regards from
Tom :)
