Website & Forums Anti-spambot

Right now there is no Captcha required to create a forum account, stupidly none at all. You may easily create an account by creating a username, password, using an email and verify it, using a real minecraft account that can be taken off the internet, giving a fake birthdate and location, that's quite simple thing to complete, so simple in fact that spambots can easily bypass it, the kind of spambot that gets annoying over time(The ones that post useless adverts.).

http://i.imgur.com/Vdqgzxz.png That's after I created an account to see if there was any Captcha required after inputting all the required information, and as you see...There's no protection or defence against spambots whatsoever.

What I suggest to the website fairies is to implement or bring back the Captcha to hopefully remove spambots forever. I also believe that requiring a new forumer to complete 5 more Captchas will keep the advertising bots out for good. But in order to make space for this, I decided to remove the poll and turn it into a Captcha space for until the player successfully creates 5 posts.

An example of how it may go: http://i.imgur.com/KggKYeE.png

EDIT: This doesn't have to specifically affect the forums, it should also affect the wiki that players can contribute to. At this very moment(01/02/16) there has been a spambot crisis on the wiki, mostly spambots advertising.

Some captcha protection you can use is easily obtainable from Google,
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#list Just sign up here and get it here.

I also got a question....Why did Tama or AJ think it was a great idea to remove the previous Captcha that was here? Or why didn't they add one in the first place? Captchas are always useful.

EDIT: Moved poll up here http://strawpoll.me/6120403 (Keeping the one down there)

 

But what if I do want to purchase their fine, organic skin lotions?

 

Or to purchase some genuine protein powder so I can lose some weight?

 

Don't be fooled by those ads! Those are spambots!

But, without the Spambots, I wouldn't have heard about AgeAway's age defying beauty cream. AgeAway makes you look 10 years younger and is on sale now for only 10 payments of £/$50! Buy now!

 

I think a little Tracing captcha would be nice.

 

10/10 drawing skills, it's honestly hard to draw steadily with a mouse.

 

Yay! I can trace things!
(This is a literal thing in my Darkwaters Character submission. Everyone that tested it had issues with it, Trying to draw as steadily as they could.)

Spoiler: Some of the testers

NOTICE THIS POST IT IS VITAL TO OUR SURVIVAL.

Btw make a poll

 

Yeah we need a captcha

 

Poll for what? We cant petition or anything cause there's only a slight chance they'd even care.

 

I made a strawpoll anyways(Guessing yes or no captcha) http://strawpoll.me/6120403

 

first vote huehuehue

 

Spambots came to Wynn, or the same one that recreated itself on Friday, December 4th.

 

*facepalm*

 

"and type their username and password."? That's a bit too much.

 

Yay, we got one erm two.

 

Spambots are pretty adaptive, I want something that spambots will not be able to catch up to.

 

fake. Only Gaijin can sell something for 50 £/€/$/Rubles/Zimbabwean Dollars!
