I still think a novel question would be the way to go. And to be honest, if you don't get the question then you don't belong here anyway. Or more seriously, it forces research which a bot would not do.
"To tell us that every species of thing is endowed with an occult specific quality by which it acts and produces manifest effects, is to tell us nothing; but to derive two or three general principles of motion from phenomena, and afterwards to tell us how the properties and actions of all corporeal things follow from those manifest principles, would be a very great step." -Issac Newton, Optics"You are what you do not do." - Relax.
Those questions would have to be reviewed individually though. I suppose that' s a possibility since we're pretty small community..
But what if they tailor the bots to pass those? If they are targeting our community specifically, we'll be fighting fire with spit.
I'm starting to think more and more that the last registrations are not actually bots but rather spammers. The difference being that bots are automated to register and post crap, while spammers set up accounts manually (a real human does it). That can't really be stopped unless we mods/admins manually review each registration. DQ is a small community so it's not too big of a deal, but still is a problem though. Again, I think we should wait and see how things go first.
Wait for what, exactly? The current bot prevention has already proved itself rather useless.
If I am right, quite the opposite (I want to wait to see if I'm right). As I said, you can never really prevent human registrations (spam) that intend to spam. But I think that all automatic registrations have stopped (bot).
