Description

I've had a public issue tracker running Mantis that was flooded with spammer attempts to create accounts. The spammers registered, but never completed the "click the link in email" step. So the didn't get accounts, but I had a constant stream of bogus half registered accounts to cleanup. I was only able to prevent this abuse by enabling captcha on the self-registration page.

I am now converting to Redmine, and I've noticed that there is no option for captcha on the self-registration page. I'm concerned that I'll soon be back in the same boat once Redmine goes live. Please consider adding captcha to all self-registration pages.
