| Parameter | Available value |
|---|---|
| Time to answer | WebApp: 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 300 seconds; API range 30–600; default 300 |
| Attempts | WebApp: 1, 2, 3 or 5; default 1 |
| Failure action | Kick, mute or ban; default kick |
| Duration | Seconds for a temporary action; 0 means permanent when applicable |
Forum groups can set a dedicated topic with /setcaptchatopic; otherwise the group default is used. The contract has automatic-removal fields for service and captcha messages, but the current WebApp does not expose separate switches for them.
Safe setup
Keep the default timeout and kick action first. Shorten time or strengthen the action only after reviewing real failures. Test join-request mode separately because the challenge happens in a private flow rather than in the group.
