Overview

This plugin allows you to create a protective layer to prevent spam. Once you enable the plugin from the Manage Plugin menu, a few configurations become available. You can configure the plugin to also allow more trusted users and groups to skip reCAPTCHA so they don't need to go through the validation process every time they want to access the site.
