Although I can reluctantly buy into the idea of the need for a captcha, and it being the easiest way to stop bots, is there a possible way to have it disabled once one is signed in?
I find that when I'm writing/replying to a thread (perhaps because of some time-out), when I come to post my message, instead of accepting the post, I get sent to complete a captcha (which causes some serious processor thrashing on my machine, observable in the fan-speed, and my browser throws up a warning that the script is causing a problem and should it be terminated).
Surely signed in users are more credible than a 3rd party captcha (?).
As an aside, has anyone had any notable success / failure using a black-hole for bots, using the Honeypot Filter (via a hidden field), or perhaps triggering it via a 'user' overstepping the Throttle Filter more than once? I've knocked together this sort of functionality in my little project, but haven't taken it live yet, so have no idea what sort of success / failure in its effectiveness I should be expecting.
