Hello,
I have had a recent increase of bots reporting comments as Spam and inserting all sorts of links and garbage text as the "reason" for the Spam report. This function of the Spam Module is now being exploited to submit Spam to the administrators. it is quite annoying.

I would like to see the Spam module utilize the functionality of the CATPCHA module to implement a challenge when the "Report as spam" link is used. This should be available for use with or without requiring the submitter to enter comments or details. A simple challenge like this will reduce this extra spamming. To allow the form to submit without a challenge like this is inviting more and more spam.

Thank you.

Let's cancel this request, as one can, within CAPTCHA, add the spam report form to the list of forms CAPTCHA will add itself to.
