I've often wanted my own text-based CAPTCHA for a video game website I run. I'd ask things like "What is the name of the purple weapon?" or "How many shields do you start with?" People who actually play the game could nail questions like that, while bots would be up a creek.
- darinpantley 16y agoWhat if one of your fans created a simple bot specifically designed to answer your admittedly easy questions?
- lotharbot 16y agoThen he would be a douchebag... and probably a huge moron, too. Who creates a bot specifically to overcome the CAPTCHA on a forum for a 15 year old video game with very little traffic? We're not really a significant target; I only have to ban about one spambot per week. There's a tremendously low ROI from spambots on our forum, I can't imagine it'd be worth anyone's time to even attempt to incorporate it into their CAPTCHA-breaking bot.
