    Default Anti-Spammer Security Question?

    I'm getting ready to activate a special anti-spammer question that people who want to register for our fair forum need to answer correctly before they can join the board.

    Sounds easy enough, but what would be the best question that all mountain bikers would know but spammers probably wouldn't?

    If they figured it out it wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would be nice to have something to frustrate the riff raff.

    Post your suggestions / comments here.

    No, I don't want to do the kitty image thing. Our problem now is not so much automated spambots but individuals paid to post spam. The kitty thing doesn't work for humans.

    What is the diameter of a standard MTB wheel?
    If you didn't build the trail, don't mess with it.

    Hmm... well, looks like I'm not registering.



    Besides, anyone with even a little bit of internet savvy could find any answer for anything. Good idea but probably a waste of time.

    any string you use could be searched upon and found out....tough one pk...

    search any new posts for certain spamming keywords. only members are allowed to make a post stick that gets flagged with a keyword, non-members cannot post certain things and get notified of the rejection ???


    make a few more responsible Nemba members forum admins that can delete posts from non-members ?
