    I was looking at the server logs and it seems like spam bots are trying to get into Booktype but don't know how to do it properly. 

    However I think that captchas should be available for spam bot prevention before somebody manages to code a bot that is actually able to get into Booktype installations, since administration would become a huge task. 

    I am not sure if a spam bot would be able to post into the TinyMCE editor used in Booktype? 

    Would it be hard to add captchas to Booktype? What about a security question for registration? That would be very easy?

    Hi,

    Not much to add yet. Currently the spam bots think that Booktype is some other platform and try to login all the time without success. I am afraid that captchas will certainly be needed at some point. 

    Regards
    Tomi
