Trick Question for SpammmBots
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!

I thought it depended on if it's a hybrid or not, but I think the answer you're looking for would be the number of stripes is equal to the number of days in half a fortnight.

Questions need to give any legit fisherman the oportuntiy to join so don't make it too US centric - I've been here 11 years and would struggle with one or two of those 
If you were looking for something automated, a multiple choice approach might work:
i) How many States in the USA? a) 44, b) 48, c) 50, d) 66
ii) Which has the biggest population? - a) Scotland, b) England, c) Wales
iii) Fly is to Flyrod as Plug is to - a) Lathe, b) Reel, c) Spinrod
The more questions, the less chance of an automated spammer getting a "pass mark". |
