Verification idea

[obee]

I was just signing up for a forum, and this was part of registration.

It's a trick question, they all go in the refrigerator!

Good game.. for real, it's a good game

In fact, that would be great if more then 2 threads are created in less then 5minutes!

So the games blocks the creation of the third thread, unless the anti-bot game is completed.

Oh my, poor forum users.

Interesting idea! I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement this verification using the message board program that we use. I'll pass this along to the devs and see if anything comes of it.

Very cool. Thanks obee! The thing about these bots is that they are human for the most part. I'm assuming that either 1) They are humans signing up for the forums and then start running a script or.. 2) They are humans and are getting paid post by post. Either way, they get past a captcha, e-mail verification AND figure out how to get around the 10 post limit for thread creation. It is a possibility to add captcha as a requirement for posting... We've avoided that in the past because it can be pretty annoying for legitimate members. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
