::::Well, one problem is that they'll probably never realize it's not doing them any good, unless perhaps the whole system of theirs is undermined. My real point, though, was to focus on simple, unique ways of making the site different, rather than adding complex solutions like a new captcha module that a lot of sites might use. The more people that do that, the more work we create for the spambot's owner.

:::::Just make a trickier question. Like "The most famous dwarf name in Dwarf Fortress", or best metal for swords etc. I've seen websites use these slightly trickier questions, and they seem to be very effective. Not everyone is interested in registering on the wiki anyway so I don't think we'll have that many people asking "What's the answer to the question? =(((". OH and btw, are you guys able to edit the HTML of this website at all, considering it's not your web host? --[[User:Qvazzler|- qvazzler]] 09:59, 22 July 2012 (UTC) | :::::Just make a trickier question.
