Mods, do what you must if there's something like this already.


This is an idea I just came up with. You know how Animation Source sometimes slips and bots join the website and post spam and profound content? Well, while on another website, I noticed they have a box that gives you a question that you must answer. If you skip it and submit your post or you answer incorrectly, your post will not go through(there is also the same thing for joining). What if Animation Source had this? We could ask a simple question in each post(different in each one) and then if the human verification detects it's a bot, it won't go through. This could also reduce spam.

It's just an idea, but I'd like to see if it would work. Here's an attachment to the example:

You can't register on the forums.
On the site, I have added a little question, like "write 'Animation' in the box below" (which is enough to turn down the bots)
So far, the bots still posting on the forums are the ones that registered before I added that protection.

Asking this for EACH post? The best way to reduce the HUMAN posts, you mean :lol:

Well, that's why it's a simple question. But I believe it's only for starting a new topic and editing. After that, no more questions. But I agree that it adds protection.

Well, seeing that this was answered, might as well lock it. Unless someone feels it needs to stay open.
