Your NoSpam! questions ?

[valdet]

Hi there,

As NoSpam hack is very popular, I wanted to ask you what kind of questions do you have for your members. I have seen all types of them including

How many balls do you have? (finance related forum)
What color are tomatoes? (vblogetin)
Do you blink your eyes? (geek forum)
etc...


Let's see some more..

The hack I have running on vBlogetin actually generates dynamic questions...

Some are math, some are questions with minor variations in wording, or language questions (enter this word backwards), and some are just static.

This way bots can't learn them, and if they do, the question ID passed through the form isn't the internal ID, and it's shuffled often so bots can't learn it that way either.

Can you share how you managed to do that one? It is a great concept for shuffling questions the way you explained.

I normally see addition problems.

Creating a nice list in a single thread of possible questions, is just what those who want to improve their registration bots are looking for.

The only power of this NoSpam is in the fact that there is not a small list of possible questions. Posting them here defeats the purpose of this modification.

I do a simple math question. It's been effective so far. It keeps out stupid humans too.
