Not for posts. For joining. That way, the bots/scripts/etc. cannot automate joining and then spamming. I know it's been said that the spam is not automated, but I think differently and a captcha would keep out the spammers who use automation. Today's spam is a good example of why to have a captcha. There are some that are very easy and you don't hae to struggle to see or pick out pictures.

If I'm wrong, and the capcha isn't working, then it can go. But I see no harm in trying.
