    So, we have this new system in place, called the "Human Verification System" which instead of using a CAPTCHA (which the spammers break all the time anyway), a new member has to answer a question which I put into the system. I've put in a few, but the more there are, the less chance spammers will be getting through.

    So, I'm asking everyone to put up some questions for me to enter into the system. An example, is one I put in today.... "The first President of the United States was George....?" with the answer obviously being "Washington" :). The questions should be easy like that, so anybody can answer it, but clever enough that bots can't crack them.

    If you don't love someone you might .... them?

    Most humans have how many fingers on a hand?

    Hell, I don't know how it works Peter but that's a few suggestions. In the meantime I'll report.

    You would run into the language barrier as well.

    Is it color or colour. Is it grey or gray?

    American English rears it's ugly head.

    Maybe just do a math problem, like:

    2+2=, 2x3=, etc?

    Seems like a good opportunity for coin facts to rear their heads (tails). First/last years of issue. If you can't find out the last year of the indian head cent through 3 seconds of internet research, do we want your opinions anyway?

    Simple answer is yes as again it is a assumption that the poster will be American and know what a Indian head cent is
