Description

The ConfirmaAccount extension is now spammed by bot from porn sites.

The problem : ConfirmEdit captcha extension doesn't run with this extension since some weeks. Préviously, bot s were'nt able to submit ConfirmAccount form when ConfirmEdit captcha was actived on this extension.

I think it will be a good idea to reactivate confirmedit captcha on ConfirmAccount form.

By example, my own wiki is spammed on ConfirmAccount form.
