IQ test to join the forums
This was purposed a while back by our good friend Djemerson13, otherwise known as Dan. It is something that I feel needs to be brought up once again. You may have been noticing threads appearing-odd ones. Maybe they offer cheap shoes, or free movies online. These aren't posted by real people, oh no. They are posted by spambots- computer programs that are designed to seek out peaceful forums such as ours and fill them with these types of posts.
Upon joining, you must enter a captcha-this, however, clearly does not work. As it is so widely used, bots can be programmed to get through them. I propose a new idea. A short IQ test must be taken (and a certain score achieved) in order to join. Why? This being a new and innovative idea, spambots will have no way around it, falling at the walls of our great and mighty forum.
Another reason. You know all those people posting useless threads, not reading stickies, posting in improper sub forums, all that good stuff? Those people probably aren't very intelligent, now are they? An IQ test will stop them in their tracks. No more threads asking for resource donation, no more TH7s complaining about loot, no more people complaining about farming being oh-so unfair. No spambots, no stupid people. Seems like the forums would be in great shape, no?
As for the score minimum? I'd say 105-110. Above average, but achievable.
Discuss.
