[CCHits Blog] Update: Add Track page now has captcha

[Fabricio]

I have the recent tracks RSS on my feed reader, and evry once in a while some spammy entry gets in the radar, which makes me go and delete that manually.

It was never a problem, and I didnt mind to do that since the spam ratio was low, but in the past days the problem grew and I decided that it was time for me to do something…



So I added one extra step in the add track proccess and users will now have to complete a pretty simple captcha from reCAPTCHA, I hope you don't mind it, and also hope that this measure helps in keeping the repository clean :)

Dude, I cannot handle the volume on this list. Could you keep it down
over there?

no luck, man -- I'm in LA. But stop by if you come down south.

spam control is the key to software that takes care of itself over the
long term.
