Topic: Spam-bot protection

How about updating the forums spam-bot protection by using stupid questions or any code when registering? Its slowly getting annoying again. Well as long as its only random ad its not really necessary and mods can delete the posts easily. But when the first porn and sex ads appear, its a must have, since there're alot of underaged kids browsing that forum.

It's been said a lot of times, that these are real humans posting, and thus there's not much we can do.

Re: Spam-bot protection

Why not make a system that bans you if you make the same post for 2 or 3 times.

Great idea, except that they don't do and thus it wouldnt change anything. (Edit: Well, the chiropractor-spamm0r did, but its not common)
The best solution against spam posts is to use the report-function.

Ofc it is no real solution and no spam-protection, but afaik there is NO 100% secure way against it, and I'm afraid, if there should be one, it would lower the quality of a forum.
