I'm thinking that with questions like that you can get a few questions from it so even if the bot sees the question again, it might not be the same answer that they are looking for.A red car drives past a house. What colour was the car?

I don't know how good your sample questions are, but the type I use, which have a 100% success rate (so far; the bots can always get better) involve a "quality" rather than a definition. Example:- "Which item can move - HouseCarStreetRedColour?"matt74 wrote:Hi,
I have been reading that the Q&A CAPTCHA is the best option to go for but I'm having trouble working out how to make the best questions to use.

Thanks
If this does what you're implying then you just made my day. The forums I'm working on : http://www.faqsaboutfax.com/forums/ are totally run-over by spam and we're thinking of just re-doing the whole site, but in the mean time I've been delighting myself by using filters to adjust spam words to ruin all the spammer hard work..John T.

Well, Spam Hammer should prevent them from posting their spam entirely by denying posts from new users/guest that contain links and, optionally, a foreign language (such as Cyrillic or Mandarin). It will, also, deny links in signatures until a new user has reached a particular quota of posts... works good, imo, and is mostly transparent to legitimate forum members.ChrisRich wrote: If this does what you're implying then you just made my day.
