Security Question for New Registration

Post by Halaster Blackcloak »

I'm adding a new modification to the forum. We have visual confirmation enabled, and that's defeated the bot spam accounts, but we still get human spammers signing up. So I'm going to install the new software in the next few days (need to check to make sure it works with all the themes, etc).

What it will do is force new members who try to sign up to answer a security question. I'm going to make it something along the lines of "Who created Dungeons & Dragons?" with the answer being "Gary Gygax" in order to eliminate spammers, who simply won't spend the time looking it up.

It'll probably be a less obvious question, such as "What is Halaster's favorite game accessory?". :wink: :twisted:
