Quote:I hate these visual recognition thingies, though. I don't know how much this board can be "modded", but instead of a visual recognition scheme, what about a random question like "What is x+y?" with x and y randomly chosen? This kind of question could be asked every time a new thread is tried to be started, or a new user wants to register. Posting an answer to an existing thread could be left as it is now, to reduce tedium. This should stop bots from spamming this forum.
It would be really easy to write a program that could answer this question (that's why the visual recognition stuff is so prevalent these days). But if it wasn't a standard feature of the Invision Power Board it's unlikely someone would go to that effort so it would probably work.
