Hi,

I’m using your plugin with much pleasure. Thanks for your hard work!

I would like to limit the amount of fake requests that bots trigger through StCR. I’m aware of the challenge question option, but I’m wondering whether you could implement a reCaptcha option ? It’s pretty efficient against bots.

Thanks again for your plugin !

Hi @psykonevro

You’re welcome and thank you.

As for reCaptcha, will add that on the to do list, but the list is a bit large so I can’t say for sure when it will be implemented.

Another vote for recaptcha, or integration with Akismet if that isn’t already a thing. Suddenly bots have found my form and spam is increasing. Maybe it could be a premium feature at a small cost if that would move it up the list…

Hi @maryannkelley

We’re moving it up to the list since it was requested by several users.

It’s a bit hard to estimate when an update will be released since we have over 30 plugins/themes so the to do lists and priorities shift a lot.

But should be sometime next week.

Thanks, @wpkube. I did just add a separate plugin that covers the comment form, so it might prevent the STCR spam (I was already using Akismet but it’s not catching them). We’ll see.

I think it would also help to make the purpose of the ‘Enable challenge question’ clearer :-).

The help text says ‘The question shown to visitor when subscribing.’ – I thought that meant the challenge question would appear on the post comment form which I didn’t want so have been ignoring this option.

The challenge question actually appears only on the management page, which is great, because setting a good question here kills all the bot spam we’ve been getting 🙂

Hi @smartyp

Thanks for pointing that out, it is indeed a bit confusing, we’ll change the wording a bit in the next update.
