[Opensim-dev] Wiki: Captcha, anyone?

[Nebadon Izumi]

I also have recaptcha installed on OSgrid's mediawiki and this also did not
stop the spam on our wiki, we were getting like 30-40 a day i had like 3
different captcha's installed all at once, and it seemed to make no
difference.  I really hope someone can figure it out, i would really like to
open it back up some day.
