as has been said several times, v1.5.x has a built in spam deterrent. So NO this module is no longer needed..

the best spam deterrent is to not allow testimonials from non registered visitors..

I agree. Although some customers will not leave one to avoid the hassle of registering or may just not want to register. Maybe I just need to migrate to 1.5.

Mwaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaa yay! one less mod to install...LOL

Of late I am getting spammed across all of my v1.5 sites via the contact us form. How can I eliminate this?

I had the same result. I noticed that the sql file were missing quotes on a lot of table names and other places.

Otherwise it just seems to put that Captcha Validation in whatever file has that GID: and Sort Order: that you had in the sql file you uploaded. There can be more than one page for this Configuration_group folder also if you have a lot of add-ons. Hope this helps.

Configuration group only gives gID not sort order. So where do find the right sort order?

This mod was poorly explained in readme. No mention is made of appending dbase prefix like zen_ or whatever. Missing quotes in sql file make installing database tables difficult.

Does this need to be turned on in 1.5.1 or is it on by default. I've been getting spam from my contact us page the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure if it's someone manually doing it or a robot/crawler.

Thanks

Shortly after upgrading to 1.5.3 I am not getting a tonne of contact form spam. I had captcha working on my old 1.3.9h system, but it seems that the magical new default spam blocking in 1.5.3 is not working for me. I'm on the cusp of installing this module to block it, but thought I would check if anyone else is having the same issue.
