We have regular form spam from one of our websites. What I see is pretty
much random content appart from a "valid" email, ie name at domain dot com
and the comments that include the rubish text.
Captchas are random images, with the Jaws issue. You cannot use an alt tag
otherwise the bot would take it.
The suggestion is to actually use plain text, so it would work with Jaws,
but would be more difficult for the bot to compute. The questions may not be
a calculation.

Hi!
I thought that the letters in these graphics were not actual characters, but
rather images, so they can't be picked up by automated programs. If you
display something like 3 + 2, would not such a program be able to recognise
the numbers and perform the calculation? Cheers, Robbie -----Original

Hi
On the Captcha matter, we are doing some research ourselves.
In order to avoid captcha and the audio, and the complexity and so on, we
were thinking of using a question such as what is 2 + 3 and you then need to
enter the result to validate the form. I have seen it used and I like the
simplicity of it.
Have you seen this type of stuff and if so, what is your opinion?
