I have started receivng a lot of spam registration requests recently. it would be good to avoid spam when registering new users to add a form validator using a captcha (like the Solmetra version).
I think it's becoming a critical issue

    Using reCAPTCHA would be nice

    If this is implemented, may I suggest using reCAPTCHA? It's a free captcha service that implements OCR scans. When the person submits the text, they're essentially helping to digitize books. There are existing plugins that may help with implementing it in PGV.

    Website blurb: reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher.
