Description

Our Trac and our Mediawiki we keep getting spambot attacks adding porn sites to our tickets and wiki. We have implemented a feature that just gives a simple math question to the editors of Mediawiki that will only allow contents to be added with the math question was answered correctly.

I have not seen a feature or plug in like this for Trac and feel it's essential to fight these spambots.

If could be just as simple as asking a question, Are you a spambot?
