Apparently not. Here is some previous discussion. https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106304 > I can't say I've noticed the same user posting spam multiple times, but > I haven't exactly paid strict attention either. There definitely has been problems with repeat offenses from the same user account. > Is there some way we can include a CAPTCHA or something as part of > registration? The continued posting of spam replies is a drag. (But > requiring people to be group members to post would be even worse, so ...) There is already a weak captcha. But I don't think that even with a strong captcha that it would really be improved. Other sites with very strong captchas are finding it insufficient. I think the best that we can do is to create a way to block accounts that are found to be offending and to react with removal of the spam when spam is posted. Bob
