Anti spam question at registration.
Is it possible to but multiple choice answers with the antispambot question? It occasionally pops it that registering on the forums here can be a little tricky and/or frustrating. Just a thought. Thanks.

Re: Anti spam question at registration.
Have to look at the software, but I have no objection to the general idea.
Nope, questions only. If people know of valid entries that are rejected, we can add them to the list.

There is not a way to do this in the software. Multiple answers can be coded but not multiple choice.dolphin_oracle wrote:Is it possible to but multiple choice answers with the antispambot question?

EDIT: However, questions could be designed that have the answer in the question. Which I guess is multiple choice.
Example: Who was not a US president? Washington, Lincoln. Roosevelt, Robin Hood.

Re: Anti spam question at registration.
Please be very careful in any use of multi-choice. I've been moderating exam papers since the 1970's and know that use of such a system, while appearing to be simple, is fraught with traps for the unwary.

That sounds reasonable to me. For instance the current animal tilde question could offer snake bear or spider.richb wrote:There is not a way to do this in the software.

You have to put the answers within the question to see the multiple choice.Jerry3904 wrote:Added, though for the life of me I can't see either one...For instance the current animal tilde question could offer snake bear or spider.
As this is an open forum guests can see, I will not give the example. I will put it in the mod forum.
