How to see answers given by users to my anti-spam Q&A

[Marek Muc]

Hi, is there any way I can see what answers were given to my anti-spam Q&A? I'd like to see whether some answers seem to come from real users that I would like to accept, but they were rejected because I didn't foresee all the answers that a person can give to my Q&A.
thanks

Not without an extension of some sort.

If you have a good question there shouldn't be any ambiguity. if they do get it wrong it should only take them one or two more tries to get it right anyway.

If they're really struggling they can email you from the contact page. I get 10 new members a day and maybe 1 or 2 a year who struggle with the question.

Can we get a link to your board?

[Marek Muc]

sure:
https://ifrscommunity.com/forum/

but be warned that this is a forum for accountants and so is the anti-spam Q&A

I don't feel there is an issue with my Q&A (based on feedback from a few of my colleagues who already registered), I was simply curious whether failed registration attempts are stored somewhere in a database. I've noted the reply from KevC and I'm not complaining

Accountants or not that can be Googled.

[Marek Muc]

Everything can be googled As I understand it, I should aim for a question that, when entered into google, does not yield an answer in search results, right? My Q&A is like that in my opinion, google does not "understand" it. Am I mistaken? What are the first answers that a spambot would give to my Q&A challenge in your opinion?

[KevC]

I should just be a case of covering the options people could write.

For instance, if the answer was IAS3 then people might write IAS3, IAS-3 or IAS 3

You also have enough people signed up that you cold post asking them if they has to take a couple of goes to answer and if so what they tried first.

I did that, I know most of the users personally and I asked them about their "user experience" including the Q&A challenge. They didn't have any problems passing it. As I wrote before, I don't feel there is an issue with my Q&A, I simply wanted to know if the failed registration attempts are stored somewhere in a database and I can review them - just to get more feedback in the early stage of my board. Now I know they aren't stored and I find it totally OK, I was just checking

Back to original question but from a slightly different perspective. Since I moved to a new hosting provider, I got a bunch of spambots successfully registered to my forum. I would like to see how they passed the security question, to know which precisely answer they provided (there are a few correct answers). Previously the same question stopped all the spammers from registering so I am wondering what changed. Is the user spambot answer stored somewhere?

[KevC]

Is the user spambot answer stored somewhere?

No

Once they know the answer, you tend to get flooded. Just change the question and move on.

With generative AI on the rise, I’ve found it much harder to come up with a good Q&A challenge.

Whilst the idea is targeted at failed attempts, this has been suggested in the past with support from the community: viewtopic.php?f=436&t=2649826

If I can manage to Google the correct answer then I’m 100% certain a bot will be able to and they’ve been able to forever.
