Antispam pre-registration screening

Last night I changed the forum registration so that new users signing up are required to answer a very basic flying-related question prior to registration.

I hope this finally stops the 'bots, cuz I am really tired of deleting them everyday. If this works, we can go back to self-activated verification.

And remember, it's spelled hangar... :)

Any problems, email me directly: zane[at]back...

It's something you haven't had to worry about in years. This only affects new users, so anyone already registered can disregard this.

I don't like the name of this thread. I'm afraid that it will offend the guys who fly Spamcans. There's enough of this "anti" stuff going on already on another thread, dammit!

Back to the original point of this thread....

What's wrong with Spam????? It's good with eggs and hash browns.

In the east they eat scrapple with (it is a revolting you guess what meat this is that is ground up and fried and served with a smile) type breakfast. I will take spam anytime. Spam, Spam, Spam etc thanks to Monty Python.

I used to listen to that guy before he joined Van Halen.

"One hand on the throttle and one on the yoke. Screemin' through the sky and that ain't no joke. Oh, write me up for FAR91.515. Ramp-Check my bird and all that jive I can't fly 55!" (Insert guitar rift here)

There's some pretty fierce competition here!

I was sorry to have missed the Sullivan Lake trip.

Which reminds me of a question: how do you spell hangar when it's next to "steak?" Or is that "stake?" :?

Elaboration needed. Stake like an investor's stake? A concrete stake? Or a piece of cow meat? Maybe you thought of a new use of hangar that I'm not aware of. :P

Follow up: The pre-screening seems to be working really well. Not a single spammer since I implemented it.

Uh oh. I knew I shouldn't have opened that door. :shock: I was thinking of cow meat, but, on second thought, there could have been a vampire hanging in the rafters of the hangar at the airport awaiting his . . . . :)

I put the spam in my emergency ration kit. It's only slightly less edible than cat food. :lol:

Good thing Spam comes in cans with thick skins. :wink:

I actually like the stuff fried. Keep raiding my survival kit for breakfast. Fried slice of spam with an egg on top and a splash of tobasco Mmm Mmm good!
