Blogs are full of spam

[Morrus]

Here's what I've gone for:

What is the last name of the current US president?
What is the capital city of the UK?
Dungeons & -- WHAT? Complete the name.
How many legs does a dog have?

What is the last name of the current US president?

Will you remember to change this one every 4-8 years?

You'll have to remind me...

At least I know London ain't moving ever!

At least I know London ain't moving ever!

Um, actually it's "Londinium." You Brits are just squatters there.

Here's what I've gone for:

What is the last name of the current US president?

I have a feeling current%president is probably within the capabilities of many bots.

What is the capital city of the UK?

I suspect this is within the capabilities of some bots, but not necessarily all gamers.

Dungeons & -- WHAT? Complete the name.

This is pretty good.

How many legs does a dog have?

*shrug* I don't know how often this is used as a security question.

I like the idea of mildly game-related questions, which would probably slow down the spammers, as well. Like:

The plural of die (the random sort) is ___? (How many spambots are going to know that one? Or underpaid spammers?)

In any case... the spammers are back.

Dungeons & -- WHAT? Complete the name.

Drag Queens?

(FWIW, that is SO what I want to do as a campy comedic D&D film...w/Richard Fairbass of Right Said Fred in the Damodar role, Rupaul replacing Damon Wayans, and Elton John one-upping Jeremy Irons...maybe even with John Waters ghostwriting.)

"We looted this good!"
"Way to go, baby!"
"As adventurers, we enjoy our rightfully gained plunder!"
"Death to monsters!"
"DEATH TO MONSTERS!"
"Hey, look! Kobold babies."
"There's only one thing I hate worse 'an kobolds, an' it's kobold babies! Gimme that sticker!"

The spam blog just keep coming! It's like dealing with Tucker's kobolds!

 

[Legildur]

Wouldn't it be sweet/ironic to hire one of the spammers to spend their time cleaning the blogs of spam?

However, I realise that that is rewarding the culprits to a degree...

Ideas, though it pains me to post them publicly where the people making the bots could just check

• What is the name of this website?
• You are registering for a ______. ("forum," "messageboard," "website" etc)
• What are gnomes good for? ("nothing," "stew," and "punting" are all acceptable)
