Is it possible to add reCaptcha to GameTracker? We know that every week are added thousands of fake servers. A simple solution is adding reCaptcha on sign up and "add a server" form.

It would be very good also to establish a limit, which only allows adding 1 or 2 servers per day, in this way, it would be more difficult to try to add fake servers with bots and in turn would be equivalent to the number of servers removed / de-ranked by the gametracker staff in this way would be less work for the gametracker staff and would be a way to avoid these fake servers with bots

I would say a 60 seconds wait time, a day for 2 servers, kinda painful

Please no. It is REALLY BAD for users. "reCAPTCHA" is the name of Google's service. It is not an only CAPTCHA (completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart). There are good alternatives to reCAPTCHA, and you can use one of them. I don't want to be tracked by Google, and I don't want to teach Google's algorithms to recognize text and objects. reCAPTCHA exploits the labor of a billion people for free, and it isn't okay if you ask me.

Spammers can pay other people to get reCAPTCHA solved. There are a bunch of services like that. Also, reCAPTCHA can be bypassed automatically with browser extensions like this.
