Spammers

Woke up early today to the sound of A-10s departing the local AFB. Love that sound. Back to topic.

I had some computer work to do and popped in here to see the early happenings. I find 3 spam posts from the same person who joind today and 0200 give or take. I have already reported all of them. If I remember right (grey matter isnt what it used to be) I had to copy a randomly generated alpha numeric code to get into Bartertown. What are the odds that BT steps up the registering process and adds a gaming question to the process?

Minimal. Not a bad idea, but it wouldn't help. The way our processes are set up now, it HAS to be a person that creates accounts, rather than having them done by a program. We have certain things defaulted that automatically invalidate the account, if they aren't changed. That's why we get so few.

A person could probably research any question we created that was generic enough that your average gamer could get it.
