A Q&A captcha is just as accessible as the rest of the registration form. If they can fill out a name and password and email, they can fill out the answer to the question too.

Yeah, what CP means is something like "if blue is one and red is two, what is red plus blue" and the person has to type in "three." I've also seen ones in terms of just putting a box and requiring the user to type a number in the box, like "type 14 in this box." They are, currently, quite effective at stopping bots.

I also don't bother with forums that posts need to be moderated before showing up when you first join, especially in a faster moving forum.

Maybe it's just me, very real possibility

But yeah, I have no helpful ideas and I know I'm not adding anything constructive, just complaining about ideas given.

You're totally right, and I hate it, too, but it's the best idea I can come up with and I was trying to be constructive. Last time we debated this the problem was "what if someone has an emergency and they can't post" and I saw this as a solution to that.

If anyone has any better ideas to stop this crap until we get a spam filter, please post them up.

[Renee750il]

There should be spam filters available. I imagine it's a matter of getting the right ones set up and adding new ones as the spammers and bots find ways around them.

Speaking of graphic porn.. a newbie just made 11 new threads to showcase some. Lord.

Speaking of porn...

Maybe its just time to bring in some new admins?

Foxy and a few others have left.. and there are plenty of active members who are active around different times of the day

Man.... That's some nasty stuff.... Clicked on one to report... YIKES! Poor Mods!

[~Jessie~]

Yeah, I'm definitely NOT opening any of those threads to report them. Hopefully a mod will catch them soon.
