I run a help site for an online game, and I used to use CAPTCHA's on our various forms. We had tons of bot problems. So, one day I switched the CAPTCHA to a simple trivia question that only people who play the game would know the answer to. (And helped the people who didn't/were newer by linking to the answer.)
Our bot problem disappeared over night, and we haven't had a problem since. Definitely not a solution for everyone, but it could be a great solution for some.
- totony 12y agoI don't recommend doing something like this. Most often, this will turn away a lot of people and will not be worth (if the question is too hard).
