There's the old-school;<br>
<a href="http://www.captcha.net/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.captcha.net/</a><br>
(which is allegedly easy for spam-bots to beat but somehow does still<br>
seem to be in common usage)<br>
and the newer;<br>
<a href="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html</a><br>
<br>
Obviously to be done when people first try to create an account but<br>
also also if they return after a long absence, such as 6months - 1<br>
year.  Also maybe every 10th or 20th login or something like that?<br>
Personally i wouldn't find it tiresome to do it every time but maybe<br>
people who are more active might?<br>
<br>
Like Peter i am wondering what i am missing because it's a bit of an<br>
obvious answer.<br>
<br>
Of the options listed byt Lyz i liked 1, didn't understand what 2 was<br>
trying to describe and not sure about the feasibility of 3.<br>
<br>
To communicate with users perhaps a single one-liner in the footer on<br>
all or most pages?  Something like "You can easily join ... to edit<br>
this page - anything from fixing a typo to a full revamp" ?<br>
Regards from<br>
Tom :)<br>
