No, it is not. What SB-I is currently using is ReCaptcha.
I think it's a good idea, but some people might think this is too much trouble and stop coming here :/
what's the use
do spam bots bypass the current ReCaptcha
Most bots don't get past our reCaptcha plus security questions. The spam you usually see comes from real people registering and posting, which is a recurring problem in forums, and something we sadly can't do much to prevent.

yep that's what I thought, so there is no use really for the KeyCAPTCHA

That is wrong way to conclude. Bots are able to bypass ReCaptcha. KeyCAPTCHA in accordance with those security questions and/or ReCaptcha will strengthen SB-I against spammers and vandals.
spam is not a big issü here. the current captcha + the qüstions seem to be doing a good job. and as anon said:

KeyCAPTCHA might be able to prevent those "small" cases where the spambots are able to bypass the security restrictions put in place. Either way, I trust you all are doing a good job. This is merely a suggestion that could lessen your work.
it's sweet, but empty forum is empty, though. It's not like there's much else for them to do here :P

those small cases are real people as anon said
By the way, I nuked those guys in the sport section. Looks like their strategy is to make relatively on-topic posts, then edit them a few days later to add spam links when they're much less likely to be spotted.
