    Default New registration options

    This is more of a notification than a report or suggestion. I noticed that a lot of bots were still slipping through the bot prevention methods in the registration page. I've installed a new kind of captcha that should be harder (if possible at all) for bots to pass by. If you notice any problems with this new software please let me know in this thread.

    I still think it would be amazing to implement a system where upon registration you must write an essay on modern society's impression of a faculty of your own choice. or even better yet, we have a monthly change in essay subject and problem formulation. We'd run the essays through Word to count grammatical and typed errors as well as the length. Then we decide if the user would be worth our glorious community.

    So would we all have to re-register K_T?

    How about you choose who goes in or not? I mean, there's plenty of mods online from time to time.

    Or you could ask a question like name one of the minor characters from one of Oscar's series. When I registered on a WipEout forum they asked me which of the original teams was my favorite.

    Not the funniest thing to do. It's an option if things gets out of hand or something though.

    I was thinking of that but I think not everyone is that into Castle to be honest

    Something like "what is the name of the main character?" would be grand actually. I think the vast majority joins because of Castle, so why would it be silly? It would also mean required viewing.

    Personally I, think grammatical, error's is what leads to people's flair in posts. I mean isn't it not cool that this is what people sometimes do dontcha think?

    Hopefully the new protection thing is secure enough to not have to implement any Castle questions

    Maybe you should set a registration question asking new members whether they think a Castle based registration question is a good idea.

    not really a great idea... new peoples bring new points of view, new ways to think, new suggestions, etc... it's why it's always great to have newcomers

    btw: i know it's sarcasm

    Ah, Polo. Ever the serious one.

    Edit: Our current newest member is definitely a bot. Their profile page has a link to an asbestos removal service.

    Yeah, some other bot just made a thread as well. Luckily it's not viewable to the public though.
