I've spun off separate bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1252098 to track the reCAPTCHA
implementation. It's currently on mahara.org, but hasn't been upstreamed
into gerrit yet.

Unfortunately, the reCAPTCHA didn't stop the spam. It continues at
roughly the same rate as before.

So, I've moved on to implementing a new user probation system to prevent
newly registered users from posting external links to the forums. I've
spun off another bug to track that:

Title:
  mahara.org forum spam

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mahara gets a steady annoying flow of forum spam. On a typical day
  it's 5 to 10 messages. This isn't a whole lot, but since the number of
  messages on mahara.org's forums is fairly low, this makes up about 40%
  of the messages each day.

  I'm opening this bug to explore options to deal with this issue.
