Turn off the stupid NoSpam question thing.

Greetings.

As the topic says, I request that you remove the idiotic 'NoSpam' question from the forum search page. Image verification is enough - and this thing sometimes asks stupid questions that not anybody would know.

And it asks what you put in a car to make it 'go'. The obvious answer is petrol. FAIL. Okay, 'Petrol'? FAIL. Er... Then I rememebered Americans often think they're the only people that exist in this world (no offense, I've met a few nice ones, but in my experience most have been like that), and used the American word.

Just a minor request, it's a bit annoying. Thanks.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...

O.o

It stops bots, I believe.

I thought that answer to what makes a car go is oil >_>

Yea, seriously, it said to me
Whats 3+3?
Everyone knows that, except maybe Preschoolers, Really Old People or just stupid people, bots , WILL get passed it, one way, or another.

Bots wouldn't know how to answer that question though. They wouldn't search up the answer to "what makes a car go".

Sorry, what are you guys talking about? -Lost- I've never seen those questions...

When you register now, it asks you a random question. Ex. "What's the first letter in the word No?". It prevents bots.

Ohh. Well I reckon there's nothing wrong with that. I agree with it if it's to stop bots, they're annoying as hell. Besides, you would only need to answer them once, unless you like making multiple accounts on a forum for some reason.

No, actually it asks you every time you do a forum search when not logged in. I do searches all the time, as it's the best way to quickly find information. It's a hassle having to log in every time just to do one quick search.

Anyway, it's not that crucial, but it's annoying, and doesn't seem to serve any purpose. The image verification already stops bots.
