Does nocaptcha still work with confirmedit for stopping spam? It shows up and works when I test it but, I am getting a huge influx of spam with it on? I am running 1.28.2 with ConfirmEdit 1.4.0 but just getting smashed by account creations and spam.
Topic on Extension talk:ConfirmEdit
Same problem. Massive influx of new accounts and spam since the end of April. Was using noCAPTCHA for account creation only, then enabled it for every edit and page creation, but it continues. My only recourse has been to disable account creation and remove edit/create permissions for every group and create a new group to add known real people to.
Same issue, I turned off nocaptcha and switched to some new custom questy captcha and still getting a huge influx of account creation through. It must be some issue with mediawiki/confirmedit that they can bypass everything
I'm using it with MW 1.27.
and it is working? or it isnt?
Sorry. I should have said it is working.
Just noticed that the specs say you have to be using https. If you don't have https, I recommend using letsencrypt.
Just re-verified that it is working to stop logins. It shows up for ConfirmAccount, but the result is ignored.
I am forcing HTTPS, http is redirected
Same problem here. I switched from QuestyCaptcha to Recaptcha/Nocaptcha because I thought Recaptcha is easier for users (they can click and don't have to type). But since then I get a lot of fake account creations. I have to switch back to QuestyCaptcha now.
Recaptcha worked fine on preventing spam on Extension:ContactPage however.
