Description

There is an increasing amount of annoying spam posts.

It would be nice for at least the redmine.org site to support Mollom, Akismet, ReCaptcha, etc.

There is a ruby class at http://mollom.rubyforge.org/

It's true. There are forum threads where the last N messager are spam (ex: http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/3399). If not a captcha, I think external links should be at least tagged with nofollow.

I totally agree. I had to lock registration for my Redmine site because the spam was getting too high.

I think this is a super-high priority for 0.9 or 0.9.1.

Something like this would be really nice. I've had Redmine installed now for under 24 hours and I've already had two spam registrations.

As a work around, I have added a required field to registration that can only have one set answer. This seems to have stopped the spam sign-ups for now.

How do you test for the answer? This might be a simple solution for the moment, until the redmine team gets some proper anti-spam measures implemented.
