Bug Description

Native reCAPTCHA support might go a long way in solving this issue, but aiki installations are being successfully targeted by spam bots. There should to be preventative measures available to developers to help deal with this & possibly built in function calls in forms (i.e. :unique).

This is high priority and we should have first class support for recaptcha in aiki.

I think the way to do is have a per-site public and private aiki key in aiki_configs, then allow use of recaptcha all throughout a site after those keys are input.

Then, we need to turn this on by default on registration to aiki.

a solution is committed to aiki, but still having some security issues, pushing to 0.9 and will release sites wide once the security bug is solved.
actually many recaptcha systems suffer from the same thing because you need to create a cookie or session before validation and it's a bit tricky to store the form data and the captcha information before the validation happen so most systems store the form data in the cookie which is dangerous and I don't want to do in aiki.. need to figure out a better way, maybe by creating temp table to store those data then move to the real table
