Thread:Extension talk:ConfirmEdit/Reverts on ConfirmEdit's QuestyCaptcha

Hi

I noticed you reverted my edits to the ConfirmEdit Extension and, of course, I don't like it so I'm here to propose other changes.

The first edit removed a Previous Edit I made and added: DO NOT use an exact copy of the dynamic questions from the link -- they've been cracked by spammers. However other dynamic questions in the style of the questions presented are highly effective. (Blue used to high light removed section). Since the new posted questions have not been cracked by spammers it's no longer a true statement. How 'bout we change it to: Do Not use an exact copy of the dynamic questions from the link; it makes it easier for spammers to crack if everyone has the same questions. However other dynamic questions in the style of the questions presented are highly effective. Or something along those lines?

Your other revert was on this add:

QuestyCaptcha as an Alternative to the ConfirmAccount Extension
As an alternative to ConfirmAccount you can use the QuestyCaptcha, in following manner:

DO NOT disclose the answer in the question and ask a question that only you have the answer to. Redirect users to a page to that contains an email form to ask to join your wiki. This would require a contact page be somewhere inside your wiki. You can add an email page with this extension:ContactPage, via the Widgets Extension using the Widget:Google Form, or in several other ways.

Example Questy Confirm Account Alternative:

Or alternatively if this is a small wiki community, and you do not wish "outside" users, you could only tell the secret answer to your selective community.

Small Community Example:

Now I can understand that maybe that section should not be included in the page about setting up Captcha, but I still think it makes a more effective way of access control then Extension:ConfirmAccount. And since ConfirmEdit is part of the core the ways I listed above are easier for most then ConfirmAccount. What about adding it as a subpage to the extension with one line addition on the front page of the extension?

Something like this:

(sentence above ending).... highly effective.

(Add) Questy Captcha can also be used as an Alternative to the Confirm Account Extension. See: Subpage Name

Anyways just my thoughts. All the best to you.
