Captcha for Chronoforum?

Implement captcha for ChronoForum to prevent spam.

Overview

ChronoForum lacks a built-in captcha feature, making it vulnerable to spam posts from public users.
Restrict posting to registered users only and set new topics or posts to require approval for public users to effectively manage spam.

hi. I've seen this feature on another extension for Joomla: Before sending the topic you have to type the captcha. But I found out that this function is used to allow the public to post topics.
So the best solution is to allow only registered users to post topics and respond.

Answer

You may also set new topics/posts to require approval for public users, because even if captcha is added, you will still get spam made by humans.
