Captcha on tickets

When enabled, captcha is required when members create tickets and post replies (signed-in support flows).

Where to find it

Admin → Settings → Settings (first tab) → Captcha & abuse → Captcha on forms → Tickets

Setting key: ticket_captcha_enabled

How it works

This is not guest-only — it hits logged-in users too. Useful under ticket spam from throwaway or compromised accounts; noisy on a small trusted community.

Common problems

Every reply asks for captcha

That is this switch. Turn it off if you trust members; keep it on under attack.

Captcha errors block support

Fix Captcha provider keys — otherwise legitimate tickets cannot be filed.
