Wow, it's still popping up
I'd be willing to have you guys go back to captcha if you need to while you clear this up.
We Use Captcha
We use Captcha on account creations. These are manual spammers. They pay people like 10 cents per hour to manually do captchas and spam to get by automated filters. There's a bit of a bug in the spam catcher on the site at the moment. It's being worked on.
With the way it is going, it
With the way it is going, it may be worth considering closing new forum accounts and instead show something like "We're sorry, account creation is temporarily closed due to an influx of spammers, please try again later" until you can get the spam net running as it should.
All depends on how much time you are wasting manually controlling the spam as opposed to the time needed to get the spam catcher back up to full functionality.
why don't you ask them to
why don't you ask them to solve the square root of 49? LOL
Good Idea it could work

The idea is that not only do bots have to type screen words, they have to understand context, which is more uniquely human than just identifying words.
better
While I like the idea of anything that could potentially lower the number of bots registering and/or posting, unfortunately this solution is unable to help with the bigger problem. Namely: humans being paid to defeat captchas.
Right. It was a suggestion,
Right. It was a suggestion, and I doubted Mollum even had support for it at the moment.
Won't Help
These are human beings in third world countries paid to solve captchas. There is no solid workaround for it other than heuristics (Mollom) and manual moderation.
gramps
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, teilen Sie bitte mit, unter welchem Link wir die Frage stellen könnten. Wir können gramps im Windows xp 32 nicht starten. Und im Windows 7 funktioniert alles. Wird gramps im Windows XP nicht unterstützt? Danke

Wenn Sie die Frage auf Englisch stellen, besteht eine größere Chance, dass sich jemand dazu äußern kann. Bart.S, der die PortableApps-Version betreut, spricht aber auch deutsch. Es gibt bereits eine ähnliche Fragestellung zu einer Vorgänger-Version (hier). Möglicherweise löst die Installation der Visual C++ 2008 runtimes das Problem.
-edit-
Ich habe gerade gelesen, dass Sie schon alles gefunden haben.
