CAPTCHA for Add Spam
Project: SpamMitigation
What (summary)
CAPTCHA required to add a spam titled page, or to add spam words to a page.
Why this is important
Currently links to sites that contain a word like "a-mbien" are rejected by the spam filter. There are many legitimate words that contain spam filtered words. For example the site in question contains the word a-mbiente which means "environment" in Spanish. But because the word a-mbien is contained in the word a-mbiente, it is rejected. Correcting this will support our user base.
