Title: Verification Questions
Post by: Tim Bruening on October 21, 2013, 10:30:05 PM

I have an issue with some verification questions.

Question 1: Is Rachael male or female?  I answered: Female, unless she is morphing a male animal.  This site rejected that answer.

Question 2: How many fingers do you have?  If I had lost a finger, and answered "9", would I have been rejected?

Moving this to Suggestions / Feedback & Issues, though I wanted to say that I honestly don't know how verification questions are worked out here. >.< But anyway. Moving it so maybe someone can answer that.

:shrug:

I guess they don't expect you to go into specifics like that. Which is probably why you see so many lurkers on here.

I'm sorry for the ridiculous verification questions, but the spammers are getting more and more sophisticated.

I come up with the questions, btw.

Wouldn't a spammer be able to guess that Rachael is female, and wouldn't most spammers have ten fingers?

These questions are there to verify that there aren't any bots (automated programs) creating accounts.
