I have indeed. I doesn’t work.  
To be more precise, It did work at some point but stopped having it’s captcha show up without me noticing for weeks.

Also didn’t really explain why isn’t captcha based bot deterrent not important enough to implement it into the whole system? Honeypots are only half efficient.
