TheoTown

ReCaptcha-To stop these bots.

But probably these are not robots these are humans that are doing this so it's not going to work...

True..

Or Youtube?

Why us ☹

Randomly

I've seen other forums keep the first few posts from a new account hidden until they are approved to prevent spam.

Still have a chance.
Also, someone noriced that since melting came, there had been an insane amount of spambots who also arrived? Did melting broke the spambot firewall or something?

No. And these are people spamming, not bots. They get paid to do it.

Yep. But these are people.

Like I said

How about not re-CAPTCHA, but a TheoTown Quiz when registering?

Mmmmmm...Agree tho

Probably Most of these paid people dont play TT

Or can't use the forum for 3 days after registration
A other forum did that and it actually works the spammers will just leave but it's annoying for the new members :/

Also other weakness, maybe some people who got paid will just play TT

Yes, TheoTown quiz is good. But just simple questions, of course
I dont think these people care about the about of the forum, right?

Maybe

After user have created their account details (name, E-mail)

Hey, welcome to the fourm. Before we can let you explore, just a quick couple of questions! It will only take a minute.

1. Who made Theotown? 1.EA 2. Lobby and Theoderich 3. Paradox
2. Is Theotown 3D? 1. Uhh yeah, 2. No, it is somewhat 2D 3.It is a 3D game, because it seems logical.
3. Is Rooting Theotown fine? 1.Yeah man, i got so MUCH DIAMONDS! 2.Meh, what can i say. 3.No! Doing it the legit way is right!
4. Can you create Custom regions? 1.Yeah! 2. Probably not, doesn't seem logical. 3.What? No!
5. Do you like Theotown? 1.Yeah, i love it. 2. Could be better... 3. Roblox is better!



These are some ideas i thought of for or if a test is put in place.

Meh.. that's too much

It is fair, because if we have simple questions people could just guess, this is actually fairly normal.
Because if they fail they can get a message saying

Oops! You didn't pass the test. You can try again, but not yet! You can try again in ONE hour.
00:59:59 Remaining.

This is to prevent people that are spamming to think about their actions before they try again.
