Yesterday I started getting messages from bots at my site. They set no captcha answer and my code sent “[http://captchator.com/captcha/check\_answer/$yoursessionid/](http://captchator.com/captcha/check_answer/$yoursessionid/)” as a captcha confirmation. And sometimes you answered with “1” instead of “0”. As workarout I pushed a fix that requires a captcha answer to be not blank… But is not there an issue when one asks you for confirmation without any answer? Thanks! Konstantin ---

Please let me know if there are any further problems.
