   I just noticed that over the past few months there are at least 50 fake signups on bbShowcase (out of 250).

   Has anyone made a captcha or turing test plugin for the bbPress signup yet? I can't seem to find one.

   Okay I have created a new plugin "Human Test" which will do some tests during registration to try to slow down the bots.

   Eventually will do more tricky things like captcha and variable math but for version 0.01 it simply asks what the answer to 2+2 is.

   I need to know if this still works with older versions and weird themes:

   Awaiting inclusion in the bbPress plugin depository for newer versions.
