Lord Snot Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 That quick? It too me around three weeks in total. Not continuous of course, I just decided to give it 40 minutes here and there over the course of three weeks. There's only so much continuousl copying and pasting answers to obscure lore questions from Google and squinting your eyes to find blurry pictures of bicycles the human mind can stand without breaking threough the insantiy threshold. The typicel sign-up process over the course of those days went as follows: Enter user name: Lord Snot Create a password: Thisisnotmypassword What is the precise size in hectars of the Vaults of Gemin in the original pre-Alpha release of Elder Scrolls Arena? : 1,457.53 Click on the blurry pictures of bicycles: click, click, clickety click, click click Who was head of the Minerals Management Services during the first quarter of Jimmy Carter's tenure as US president: Rex Hamilton Click on the blurry pictures of crosswalks: click, click, clickety click, click click Who begat the second cousin's sister's lawful commonlaw spouse during the early reign of King Gothryd of Daggerfall? Boldryn Wulfranghausen What answer is incorrect. Click on the out-of-focus pictures of motorcycles: click, click, clickety click, click click What was the springtime residence during the constitutional period of the Danish monarchy in the year 1464? Click on the blurry pictures of bicycles: click, click, clickety click, click click /RAGEQUIT.... And so it went on..... day after day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurð Stormhand Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Alright, settle down. It's basically the only way we can keep the bots at bay, and sometimes they still get through. So, yes, we know signup is a pain but we can't justify increasing site staff just to have them mowing down bots all day long, not least because that would be a miserable job - sort of like a Tower Defence game via text editor.

alt3rn1ty Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 @Arthmoor Its ages since I had to make an account here, but reading this topic sounds like a bunch of captcha .. Would this help https://blog.cloudflare.com/turnstile-private-captcha-alternative/ I heard about it on Security now podcast, its supposed to be good and less hassle for users. https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-891.pdf They are blabbing about it around half way down page 13. This quote is from the cloudflare blog .. Quote So whether or not you’re a Cloudflare customer today, if you’re using a CAPTCHA, try Turnstile for free, instead. You’ll make your users happier, and minimize the data you send to third parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carls Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 i too can confiirm that the sign up questions are obscure and tedious. i'm sure there's a better way. though i do think it hilarious in hindsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurð Stormhand Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Honestly, we're open to suggestions. That said, we'd only take an alternative that was at least as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrySchoeder90 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Guess I got lucky. Question I got was "What city in Fallout 3 is built in an aircraft carrier" Then for captcha pics I got bright shiny trumpets to pick out among roads and buildings and such. Nice little site though, hope it grows bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
