There is a high amount of spam that goes through this page: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/#intro I say that we can reduce it by have users filling out a captcha.

One key idea with Input is to make it as easy as possible for people to give feedback. Adding a captcha will make this harder. On something like a forum, it is important to keep spam out of the stream, so a captcha might be considered. In this case, any barrier, including a captcha, will lower the amount of feedback we get, which is undesirable. I also question your premise that "There is a high amount of spam that goes through [the feedback page]". Looking at the current front page of input.mozila.com, filtered to only show English results, I only see one thing that could be considered spam, which I think is actually a really good ratio. In short: I am strongly against this proposal, and think this bug should be WONTFIXEDed.

I'm looking at spam problems and ways to alleviate our specific spam issues in the context of Input for bug #910767, but I agree with Mike and don't think a captcha is a good solution here. I'm going to mark this one as WONTFIX.
