 * I’m getting a ton of spam subscriptions. Is there a way to use either a simple
   math question or captcha to avoid this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcaptcha-support-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I’m curious how did you conclude that it comes from STC. Can you send me more
   information how the spam was received.
 * You can use my email to send this information [sidney@vandestouwe.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-support-7/sidney@vandestouwe.com?output_format=md)

 * Ok I see a lot of email addresses in the trash from STC. I assume you moved that
   yourself to trash. What is in place is the fact that a new subscriber needs to
   acknowledge subscription. If that is not done then after 24 hours the entry will
   be deleted by STC. Can you confirm what the post status was before you moved 
   the items to the trash?

 * Gotcha. Ok, well as long as I don’t get an eventual list of hundreds of spam 
   then I think we’re good. The automation to trash should help a ton. I will review
   any more that come in and if they are confirmed automatically I will loop back
   to this ticket. Thank you.

 * If it would be automatically confirmed I will build in a test to check if the
   given email exist.
