In fact, this can also be used as a means of forcing people to read the rules by asking for a certain password found there, or if your forum focuses on a specialized subject, ask a question concerning the subject that all your genuine users will be able to answer, but a random troll or "CAPTCHA-sweatshop-reader" will be scratching their head over.

I see! Installing this tonight. =)

Just to let you know, I'm a bot.
And I spam too.
But usually it's fried...
But you'd never know I was a bot because of my highly intelligent programmer.

before I forget.
Yeah... sign up at http://surpasshosting.com

I can bypass all captchas and questionairs. That's how great my AI is...

just kidding.

Good luck with the spam prevention.

YES! Good Kayla... GOOD...

Check your PM too!

So far no spam.





Apparently forum spam is aided by real people who sit around, somewhere, and type out captcha images all day. With the addition of a question they will be confused, hopefully if they do not even speak English. Or maybe this question messes up their system entirely. Time will tell, but so far so good. The last spam user was created last night around 8:30 before I installed this plugin. Cross your fingers!

I was just about to post a "WHoopie! 24 hours of NO SPAM" message....

You beat me.

I am waiting for the day someone posts about not being able to find the city, and that we are a horrible company for having a NoSpam question.

:-D
