Textual Confirmation

Textual Confirmation (TC) asks newly registering user a question. If the answer is wrong, TC rejects the registration. Also, TC notifies the forum admin and the community spam database. The administrator can edit the questions and answers in the Administration Panel.


We could make a question to register such as "What game do we play? (runescape)" or "What color is the sky (blue)" etc.

Strongly agreed! It might work! Also TDM has been doing a thing where all posts by a guest must be approved by ad admin.

I'm going to lock this,

We have a solution in the pipeline, however robbie has quite a big workload at the moment and isn't able to implement it immediately. This solution will be very good (in the sense that it will automatically check wether their details are valid etc.).

At this stage it could be a month or so before the system gets implemented, untill then we will have to live with the porn posters/spammers for a bit longer. It is down to a topic a day anyway, and we have enough active Mod's that they get dealt with swiftly.

-Edit-

Oh, and they are not BOT's so to speak, these are actual people who post this stuff, theyre just paid to do it.
