Can we get a fucking system in place to keep the spam off the forums?

Seriously, I'm not a coder but how hard is it to code a "2 + 2 = ?" system where you have to input 4 to make an account?

True, considering someone was clever enough to make the website, couldn't hurt to add one of those fancy captcha thingies.

Guys, it's been implemented already. The board requires registering users to fill Google's reCaptcha box.

Yes. Programming a capcha-esque thingummy might not be that hard, and programming a solver to read them might be significantly harder, but that doesn't mean there's no one out there who can do both.

To become truly bot-free, we're going to have to think of something really clever.

You can post here without buying any games.

Many people post here to ask how to provide proof of purchase (i.e. do the SPF access thing).
