Default BUY THESE SUNGLASSES OR AT LEAST CLICK THIS LINK!

thers been some spam posts recently, not sure if this is anything new for you guys here.

someone mentioned that using captcha would be a way to prevent this kind of behaviour, but i disagree. captcha is a huge pile of horseshit that has been spread ALL OVER THE INTERNET. i absolutely hate it. FKN MICROSOFT made me do captcha just to activate my local user account. when i have to do captcha, i slam my head against the keyboard until it finally works.

instead of captcha, i think there are alot of other alternative methods that could be used. one of these would be an activation process, which requires one to enter some validating info into a form. you could put all kinds of things in the form, like IP address, in-game character name, whether you prefer your cats dead or alive, etc.

i mean, if necessary i dont mind spending 20 minutes working on captcha to get access to an online forum, but the concept is very unimaginative and i think there are many better ways to achieve a similar level of security.
