I have an exceptional old and unused forum, but it used to be attacked by spammer bots daily. I had questions to test if you were human that were randomly selected when registering, but hardly made any difference. That was until I got rid of them all and added in just a handful of questions.

If the tiananmen square massacre was real, type yes

The UK invented the modern concentration camp and used it before anyone else, type yes if this is true

In WW2, germany fought against communism to save Europe and lost, the west allied with the communists and won. Type yes if this was true.

The USSR killed 3 times more people during WW2 than Germany and most of the deaths were their own people. If this is correct, type true.

Most world governments actually care about their people, if this is true, type true, if this is false, type false.

Are you a bot? Type the words no if you are, and yes if you are not.

And over night 100% of my spam stopped.

Many countries like china automatically block any reference to certain things and various bot networks are run by people of certain interest groups that also do not certain topics.
