Neat fix for the bot problem...

I know our undervalued and hardworking developers are working on this already, but when I signed up to the VZI (VW site, there was a 924 for sale! Don't flame me!) they had a question in the extra bit:

Are you human? Type yes or no.

Any mods want to say if this is doable

Sounds workable to me

Nothing any of the mods or admins can do about it, only Ironside has the power.

The bot just answers yes surely?

But it has to type it in and it's in the extra's section along with favorite colour/animal/position/etc.

Just a thought.

yes but has the bot been programmed to work this out?

The jumbled up letters i think is actually starting to be broken as it is not too hard for a computer to work out where as something more cryptic like my picture idea or the are you human question can be slightly harder.

Also i have seen lots of forum etc using jumbled letters so it is probably the majority solution therefore more likely to be something our spam friends are working on to over come where as something completely obscure is likely not to be on their radar.

i am sure our more IT switched on folk will be along later to say something clever.

I thought Simon was our switched on IT person.

I make no comments about being clever
