I guess if someone did a better job on protecting the front door to begin with...I would not want to have to lock every door in the house. I think this option should be there, and it would be up to the individual forum owner if he wants to place a code on certain or all forums...if a user can take 5 seconds to fill out the tag slot, then they can take 1-2 seconds to answer a simple question before submitting their post. I think some people would respect a forum for taking such action, and they would not mind answering an easy question....unless you are a member of a forum and you love to see 30 porn messages every time you log in to the forum....maybe your into that...but personally, i am sick and tired of seeing 20-40 posts, weather it is a live post or the msg is waiting for a mod to approve...and for those forums that are forced to use mod posting because of spam bots, maybe this option will allow them to set their mod posts to live.....drastic times call for drastic measures, otherwise whats the point of keeping the forum open just for porn and spammers? and if a user/member is really that lazy to answer an easy question in order to keep a forum clean, then more then likely they will not really be a quality user/member anyway...

I really don't see how that comment was necessary.

The point I was trying to make was the problem with drastic measures is you start impeding the experience of your users. My question is, if humans are registering to get past your NoSpam! verification, then what good is a NoSpam! on a forum by forum basis against those same humans?

This idea is not meant for human spammers, we all know that a bot is unlimited, and will continue to spam, spam spam then a human ever could...one issue at a time, bots can be stopped if you really want them to be, humans you just have to deal with. If i was a human spammer, I would rather let the bots do it, and they do not get tired, if I had to spam forums by myself, it would get old and boring rahter quickly, again its just a feature that the individual admin should have access too, it is up to them to use it or not...personally, I would rather have something to stop all the bots cold, because most forums are not human s, they are bots doing what the humans created them to do because they were to lazy to do it themselves... if you stop the bots, the spam war will slow down a great deal.

Thanks for this!

Thanks, lets see if this helps reduce the amount of spam sign ups I get :D

would this work on 3.8?
