Hi,

Quote:It would be really easy to write a program that could answer this question (that's why the visual recognition stuff is so prevalent these days).Of course it would be easy, but it would only be worthwhile for the spammers to do this if this mechanism would be included in some standard forum software like the Invision Boards, and thus would be the same on multiple boards. If you modify the board software yourself to add the question, no spammer would change their bots for just that one board.
