My experience with google Recaptcha is not that bad. It can be
implemented so that it does not communicate with the user at all
unless it detects suspicious activity. It starts poppig up
consistently when you've logged on to a form 10 or 20 times from a
similar IP address, as you would for testing, but it seems to behave
decent otherwise.
Once it prompts you you have to do one of these stupid blurry audio
things that are near impossible to hear (and do not work in IE11
unless you download the audio).
A two factor authentication would be beter (user enters phone number
or email address, you send a unique code to that contact info and user
has to click a link and enter that code to authenticate).
You can also add a "review" page after user submits the original form,
one where the user has to check a checkbox and click an additional
""confirm" button. It's not bullet proof but it makes the process that
much more complex to break, so people looking for a quick buck, or
fun, are probably going to give up and go away.
This also allows real users to verify their response
Make sure only to use CAPtCHA on one-off processes (such as
registering). For routine processes (like logging in) you have to find
a less disruptive solution.
