    When will we have to answer this – at login, at new sign up, or for every post?

    Right. It seems like you would only need to do this once – when setting up a new account. That or – members who have less than ?? (20?) posts must use captcha. Once it is established that a member is not a spammer, wouldnt be necessary right?

    And seriously, remember that some members are or may be visually impaired – thus a captcha solution should handle that. I know some captcha’s I have had no idea what they are saying or how to solve it.

    The answer will always be: Pete, Pink or ELITE

    I think it would be the same as the captcha system we have now, so at signup and at each post.

    Depends on how you slice it. If you slice spam thinly, place it on a nice rye bread with mustard and a few slices of orange cone rings – it can be quite good.

    We’ll look into this. The only problem I could see here, is if someone left their account logged in and some malware or trojan took over the account and started spamming from it. Just theoretical, but unlikely in practice.

    Not sure how Tapatalk deals with Captcha/questions, but just keep in mind that the posting interface for Tapatalk (and other mobile access apps) is limited so asking about a logo at the top of a page (when it doesn’t appear in the mobile version) may make it difficult/impossible to post via mobile devices.

    Other than that, I think Pink, Pete, ELITE are fine answers to all of life’s questions.

    And here I was told it was “42.”

    Good call. The challenges can also be obvious and part of the questions. “Pete’s favorite color is pink. What color is Pete’s favorite color?”
