Visitor Questions

[buttons]

I do not know much about this topic so I was hoping for some advice/opinions. I am creating a website for an organization and they would like their site visitors to be able to ask questions, possibly post these questions on the site, and are concerned about recieving spam. At the same time most of the visitors will be older adults, so I want to make things as easy for the visitors as possible, so the less tech savvy get the same use out of it. How do you think I should set this up? Thanks!

If you want to avoid difficult hard to see CAPTCHA systems due to the visitor demographics, perhaps setting up a "moderator approved" comment system would be best. When spammers find out it doesn't show up on the site until it has been approved by a moderator then they won't bother.

My input:

I created a few blogs that have input forms. Those with CAPTCHA on receive zero spam, maybe 1 - 2 over a two year period. Those with comment/message holding get at least 10+ spam messages a day on some sites.

I'd try using recaptcha because it also has an audio function which would be better for older viewers

a image cap would be the best but a 1+2 option is moreuser friendly

Captcha is very important!
I can remember I had a homepage with a guestbook without any captcha.
My guestbook was spammed by robots...
