You mean the one that's part of the CAPTCHA module? No, not really.

By itself, no. With a friend, yes.

I've had success pairing a math captcha with the honeypot module. The reason is that sometimes humans fill out forms so quickly that they trigger honeypot's bot-detector.

The newest Captcha I'm interested in trying is Google's Nocaptcha Recaptcha:

I like it because it's a simple checkbox. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.

Google's "No Captcha ReCaptcha"

I just came across this article while doing some reading on "No Captcha ReCaptcha" and (despite the sensationalistic tendencies of Business Insider) it seems to raise some privacy concerns about how Google gathers data using their new security API. It's worth a read I think: http://www.businessinsider.com/google-no-captcha-adtruth-privacy-researc...

Here is Google's blog post about No Captcha ReCaptcha: http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/12/are-you-robot-introduci...

Good article

Thanks for the link, Kevin! I think those concerns are valid... I hope Google responds to them.

The article doesn't mention it, but I would hope that NoCaptcha respects browsers' do not track headers.
