[Koha-devel] Need to improve anti-spam for opac-suggestions

[Chris Cormack]

Positive captchas are still discrimatory. The reasons for not using them are as valid now as they were then.

I guess the question is would you rather discriminate against potential or current users or deal with the spam. Long winded way of me saying we should find a better tool than positive captchas or deal with the spam.

My 2 cents
