Remembering vaguely that you don't have to register and login to SM to comment, I did a test by logging out and finding a thread to comment on. It allowed me, and it asked a "random question" to (I assume) validate I was a human being and not a machine.

The question was:

Right at the top of the page, there is a blue bar. What is the first link on the extreme left? (Starts with A)

Unfortunately, the new default style no longer has "Arcade" as the extreme left first link. I was able to guess the answer, but if there are many questions like that, a guest might give up and not comment.

Is there a way to audit those questions to make sure they make sense? I don't know how many anonymous readers wish to comment, but if they do, we might as well make it as painless as possible.

I have a contact form on my website. My anti-bot question is

What year is this?

I've seen some even simpler ones on some sites, such as:

What is 1 + 1 = ?, however, I'm wary of anything to do with numbers since bots can get through stuff like that sometimes.

Possible Questions...

"Who is the one true god?"

"I am thinking of a number between one and ten?"

"Who do you think you are?"

I like the third that or,
"What is the name of this website?"

Okay - I'll take the bait. What is the answer to the first question?

Sorry my bad. I just changed the question and answer. No worries about it messing up again.

I think that someone I know ran across that when they tried to login into the system. . . We looked up there and said "What?!" But we got it all figured out in the end. . .
