As we have seen the past few months there has been a noticable uptick in SpamBots registering and then spamming S-B. I literally spend a lot of time going through and checking accounts to see if they are automated spammers. I find the vast majority of these are in Russia, China, Phillipines, any of the *Stans, and several Eastern European countries. The processes are automated now that some can even decipher the pain in the butt image people use to register onto S-B and some have a "man in the loop" that verifies the images for the spambots.
I have found a new tool that allows us to ask a question fo anyone registering and that person gets the answer correct it will allow them to register a new account. So if the question was "What is 2 + 2 ?" the person would answer 4 (OK, maybe the spammers will get that right too).
So I am looking for some questions and answers (family friendly
) that we can present to our future S-B members, so that the next BigFish
, RaiderRon, or Clammer can figure it out but the next Anatoly Russka might have a problerm or two...
Like "Early Bird gets the" ???? Something fishing and northeast fishing related that would not exclude other legitimate interested members from signing up.
I hope to have this up and runnig shortly... Thanks!
