Ubivis: Hey All,

Maybe it is because of christmas coming, or something else... but there have been an increased amount of spam recently. Because of that a funny question captcha has been implemented and currently hold two gog related questions.

As two random questions are not enough I would say, I hope you GOGers like to contribute some questions to the database (Questions shall be easy to answer for GOGers).

Please send me your questions and answers by PM to me.

There will be also a little price to be given away :)

satoru: Here's a good way to weed spammers out

"Do you like Twilight"

Possible Answers and the likelyhood of what lies behind the keyboard

Yes - Bot, since no Twihard can answer such a question without going on and on and on about which 'team' they're on.
No - Bot, If you hate Twilight, it means you've seen it, and no actual person who hates Twilight is left unscarred by the experience

The only correct answer would be a 10 page critique of how Vampires are not supposed to 'shimmer' and werewolves should not look like an A&F advertisement.
Me gusta.
+1, sir

What about "What is good in life?"

If you can't answer that, you are obviously non-sentient.

False.

A "no" to "do you like" is not the same as a "yes" to "do you dislike" (or "hate"). Since I have yet to see it, I do not like it (yet, nor do I dislike it yet for that matter, I simply still have no opinion).

You could also go for a simple question. "What does "GOG" stand for?"

It's nowhere in the main page. You have to click on the "about us" link down at the bottom to get a clue.

By the way, don't worry about the price, I'm not willing to pay for suggesting this to you. ;-)

I knew someone would pick up on that :P

Sorry I had to. :-)
It would be good, although bit harsh way to deal with spammers. :-)

A classic question: when is System Shock+System Shock 2 available on GOG?
I am afraid I do not know the answer though :-D

On a serious note, maybe questions on GOG history (that can be looked-up on Wikipedia). Like for example, in what year was GOG first launch (2008), when did GOG emerge from Beta status (Sep19-22, 2010), etc. Or maybe something that is unique to GOG forum, like for example in GOG forum the blue and green dot icon means what (Comments and Discussions), etc.

i can lend a had to You with some experience from fight with spam and vandalism at our own community wiki (BIKI)

also i suggest You take look on the Progress Bar extension [url=http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Progressbar]http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Progressbar[/url]
if You not aware it has some serious vulnerability hole ...

so either get rid of it and replace with something more secure unless You want address it manually which often may lead to even more problems ...
