Broken anti-spam question - THX1138 - May-11-2018 What do you want from me?? Incidentally, the correct answer should be 'yes'; regardless whether people act on free will, punishment can correct aberrent behaviour and only the weak-minded think that hard determinism exonerates criminals. The fact that people will argue otherwise makes this a bad question for filtering spam bots. RE: Broken anti-spam question - metulburr - May-11-2018 This is a philosophical question that has a different answer based on who you are and your ideas. You are meant to get this wrong. There is no right answer. There are several questions stored like this (but only 1 is active at a time) that the sole purpose is to throw off bots that have saved the mathematical answers. Thus it will stop a bot from creating numerous accounts as it will not be able to respond with a proper answer and bot will break if it is not programmed to hit the refresh button. Its actually a tactic used by other forums as well. RE: Broken anti-spam question - micseydel - May-11-2018 @THX1138, how did you get that screen? RE: Broken anti-spam question - THX1138 - May-12-2018 It's two screenshots cropped and placed next to each other. RE: Broken anti-spam question - micseydel - May-12-2018 No, I meant what flow through the site had it happen? Password reset, account creation, etc.? RE: Broken anti-spam question - metulburr - May-13-2018 its under the registration process that the security questions are at.
