I’m using the Form stack on the latest RW Classic release. How do I add Captcha to the form to stop spam getting through? It doesn’t seem to be an option with the stack.

Hi @gallifrey55,

Which form stack do you use?

Some offer protection, others do not. Some allow captcha integration, others do not.

And some have protection that has been defeated (like Foundry’s Form stack) and are now wide open to spam bots.

Cheers,
