| Description | A user has reported how the newsletter form is being hit by spambots, causing confirmation e-mails to go out to 'random' people. This is a bit unusual, as there's no message field for the bot to use to enter spam text to, while the bot also is smart enough to not fall in the spam blackhole that is present on all forms. Add CAPTCHA support to the newsletter module. Document the main_newsletter_signup block does not support CAPTCHA, so people know to just link to the module if spambots are a concern. (Adding CAPTCHA to the block would ruin the simplicity of the block as a quick signup option integrated into the UI). |
