Er, I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Andy.

These things are designed to stop comment spam, as I understand it. I'm doing a website where people have to sign up, but there's no comments as such. I'm just wondering if I should go the whole hog and do the character recognition thing, or whether the email confirmation is fine.

The way I figure it, most spammers don't have email systems, or is that just for the bots, and the harvesting does use it? Anyone got any numbers?
