Have you considered implementing the new "are you a human" captchas?

In the interest of improving your product, have you considered implementing a new captcha called playthru" by "are you a human"?
I seem to be getting better conversions (comments) where it is implemented on my blog... I've also noticed more people signing up to my forum. It would also be nice to have the same catchpa throughout my entire site. :-)
So much easier to submit a form than recaptcha. recaptcha was okay 5+ years ago with the idea to help OCR of books etc, but now it just seems to be a hindrance.
If you are not able to offer it with your product, I was wondering if I able to get it to work with machform?
Thanks,
Leslie

This does look as if it would be a nice option to have.

Yes please implement this feature. Maybe have a setting that allows you to submit 1 or 2 forms from the same IP address until CAPTCHA is required.

Just found out that this feature does exist. When you are editing a form click on "Form Properties" then click "Show more options" The CAPTCHA option is under "Protection & Limit"

@jimelsmore: Thanks, but we are aware of the CAPTCHA feature in Machform. What we are asking for is an additional *kind* of CAPTCHA, described at the website below.
It requires the user to play a short game, rather than relying on distorted text, which is supposed to be very secure and much less frustrating to the users of the form. We are asking if Appnitro will add this as a built-in CAPTCHA alternative. I'm sure it can be added by custom coding, but many people don't have the time or resources to do that, not to mention the fact that any customizations are likely to break if you ever want to upgrade Machform.

This look interesting indeed. Thank you for letting us know Leslie! I didn't know this was exist.
We need to check it further though, particularly regarding the customization options. From what I see so far, the customizations seems only available on their paid plan ($19/month or $79/month).

Hi,
It would also be nice to have a very simple captcha system such as 2+1 and user has to answer 3?
I really don't like recaptcha...Any ideas to implement another captcha alternative?

sitesme - There are different Captcha alternatives within Machform. There is a simple text version (easy) as you want, plus an image version (medium difficulty) and then the Re-Captcha (hardest).
You can choose the various options in the Form Properties section, look for more options and then you'll see it towards the bottom of the list.
Hope that helps you.
Regards,

You already have 3-Spam Protection options. Under "Form Properties", click on the "show more options" then scroll down to "Protection and Limit". There under "Turn on spam protection (CAPTCHA)" you can choose "Simple Text" which asks simple questions like "how much is..."

I didn't see that option (I'm new here) but still... this sounds an easier and better looking captcha alternative: http://d.pr/i/LPvE/3kWx57Ny

Hi, I used to used the standard Joomla contact form but have just moved another client over to Machforms. I used to use 'Are you human' since 99% humans hate using recaptcha.
Surely though it would be easy to implement another alternative like most forms do these days. Such as random simple questions like:
'what is the colour of grass?'
'what is 2 plus 2?'Posted 10 years ago # -

morktron -- MachForm already support that one. Simply use the text captcha option. You can even create your own question/answer sets by editing the "lib/text-captcha.php" file.
