Description:
I understand the need for captchas as a spam protection measure, 
but do you really have to verify that an already logged in user is a human *every time* i add a comment to a bug?

How to repeat:
Try to comment on several bugs on bugs.mysql.com (probably only affects non-oracle-employes)

Suggested fix:
Do not ask more than once per day (or maybe even per hour would still be acceptable), only ask more often if the comment content looks suspicious (e.g. due to links to non-mysql.com/oracle.com sites or other content based 'may be spam' metrics, or if submissions come in at a suspicious high rate)

Hi Hartmut,

This has been fixed, not in the suggested way though.
You will not be bothered with recaptcha anymore.
