reCAPTCHA Support

The current CAPTCHA feature provided by Dolphin is severely basic and for the most part, useless against today's more advanced bots and other automated tools. With that said, I believe it would be both easier and more benneficial to replace the current CAPTCHA with reCAPTCHA. Perhaps both could even be made available, with the better one being the default option.

While this will not completely do away with the spam bots on Dolphin sites, it will most definately do a better job and keep the more basic ones away.

Following an attack adding 400 fake members to our site in 60mins I totally agree with Magnussoft. The current security measures are insufficient for a professional site.

2nd'ed!

Ive started getting bots signing up and posting in blogs, even though I have set blogs NOT to post automatically but to need verifying!....???

If I delete the fake profiles, next day they are back and posting same crap again. Only way is to keep them as registered members but 'block' them. Would prefer not to have them at all.

Last thing I want to do though is have to 'approve' members as this puts people off.

If I sign up on a forum/social site, I dont want to wait 24 hours for the admin (often in other country) to approve. Unless I REALLY want to use that site...

RE-CAPTCHA would be nice addition.

I found in wordpress, reCaptcha becomes an option for webmaster,

ReCaptcha is a basic now, 

Hope Boonex will put ReCaptcha into Dolphin,

This is concerning with site security,

If many spam bots are flooding into niche social site which the webmaster actually don't have enough time to take care like big website can do, that niche social site will be dying soon.

ReCaptcha should be a standard part of dolphin.

Already implemented as stand alone app: http://www.boonex.com/m/captcha-2

$25 for something that should be a standard is a little steep when other cms offer this as free?

I appreciate the time and effort involved in creating a plugin, but I really do'nt see why every little addition costs a small fortune?

I love my dolphin site as it was my first, but the potential with other scripts and the ability to be more creative with them is leaving dolphin dead.
