In the last days some authors from OOoAuthors discovered that there were some spam accounts on the site. They were able to get an account and put some content with links onto the site.
This leads to the question, if there is a product for the CMS of the site (Plone) to prevent this machine generated accounts and spam. And it is: qPloneCaptchas.
It is an product, that could be easily installed in a Plone-Site (e.g. version 3.1.6). I tried it in my buildout of Plone and it was a little bit complicated. I got a hint from an other Plone user and then it installed.
Now a new user had to read and write down the letters from the captcha. This should prevent machine generated accounts.
