Feature: captcha like module

[Yorgosgr]

Hello all,

I was wondering could a module be written as an antispam feature that the user upon connect must enter a captcha like code to allow him to connect?

The simple way is: setup webIRC protect it with Captcha and it will work... for IRCd it's difficult because it text-only, and how should that captcha works? maybe generate a link to an captcha that you have to use as server password? mhm doesn't sound really handy...

I started something like this a while back. I will post it when I get home.

Scratch that. Seems like I deleted it when I did my big clear up.

Like it, only for use per connection class

I got @Adam- to make a module that hooked into this:
http://captcha.spigotmc.org/captcha.php?key=Z3VudGVzdCF+Z3VudGVzdEAxOTIuMjA4LjU1LjE4NnwxNDE0NzkwMDcz

Unfortunately I'd be concerned about releasing it in case is promulgates attacks.

I'm not interested in implementing this as a core feature but I have transferred this issue to inspircd-extras in case anyone else is interested
