Comments:
I tested this in EasyMOD v0.3.0, and it worked flawlessly.
I must say however this is only my 2nd MOD creation, so take it easy on me if it doesn't work for you.
I believe this MOD will do wonders in stopping SPAM-BOT's right in their tracks. It uses the reCAPTCHA API to create a very difficult CAPTCHA verification for SPAM-BOT's to break. While at the same time helps the world by "Digitizing Books One Word at a Time".
Not only do you have image verification but reCAPTCHA also provides an audio challenge for the visually impaired.
Ok, it's ready for prime time... I've done my testing, and I've submitted it to the MOD-DB, and if all goes well, it should be "officially approved" soon.
Good-Luck getting by this one SPAM-BOTs
Let me know what you think: any/all feedback will be much appreciated
