Description
i see that it is quite easy to add the captcha (reCATCHA) to all user created forms (i'm using the webform module).
but i don't want to give web authors the option of not using the captcha when they create a form.
is there a way for all forms created as a webform have captcha enabled by default? is that something i can do in the content type?

No, there is currently no way in the core CAPTCHA module to automatically add a CAPTCHA to a (web)form.
If you're comfortable with writing Drupal modules:
An option/workaround is to write a small helper module that sets a CAPTCHA after the webform is created,
for example by programatically submitting the captcha point form (form_id: captcha_point_admin_form) with the desired values.
I don't think this type of functionality should be in the core CAPTCHA module, it makes more sense to put it in a separate (sub)module.

I would be willing to sponsor such a module for Drupal 5.x+ if anyone is interested in working on it.

How about adding wildcard (or even regular expression) matching to determine placement of captcha? It will enable us to eg. add "webform_client_form_*" or "webform_client_form_%" to the list of form_ids that will get captcha. All forms matching that pattern will get a captcha. This functionality can be used for other (future) similar cases too.
Since form names are (usually and by convention) valid PHP function names, there won't be clashes with existing IDs.

working with wildcards could be a possible solution, but I'm not sure yet if it is worth the extra processing it would incur (on every form). And how to handle multiple matches?
