• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Hey guys, your registering Captcha is outdated.

It asked me to write "who is the president" and I had to write Obama, even though Trump already took over.
 
But it's still inaccurate, it has that orange thing and not the REAL president. See me in my press room? it should be juuust to the left....
 
For what it's worth, when I was registering here a few months ago, I originally entered Putin, who of course is (and was) the president of my country.
(I did realize the intended answer, and entered it on the second try.)

Maybe, in the light of the recent rule 8, the captcha should also be changed to something that does not refer to current politics? Not really sure what would be appropriate, however.

Given that QQ is by intention and realization an international forum, it may well be better to make a CAPTCHA that isn't oriented around one country.

True, but to correct that issue, we'd need to come up with some kind of... Universal question?

Or, no, it would probably be better to have a database of questions assigned on a basis of where the login is traced to... So a Russian gets a question that a Russian would know the answer to, a Canadian gets a question that a Canadian would know the answer too, and so on.
 
Or you could pick something stupid and simple, like "What is two plus two?"

(Or actually implement reCAPTCHA or something like that, but that would take work.)

That's a nice idea, but it's probably too complicated.

Not sure how to make a universal question, though, other than using simple arithmetic or something (ninja-ed on that, but this is actually used in private messaging on CCF, and I think I've seen something similar on other forums).
 
Obviously, the question should be: What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
 
1.- Select a random word from the ToS
2.- ask the user how many times that word appears.
3.- see how you never get new members on QQ.

Guys. Guys. Hide a secret word in the rules by making them all lowercase except the letters of that word.

"What is the secret word in the rules"

Force them to read the fuckers.

But that would be easy as fuck to work around.

Just have a program scan the rules for capital letters and print them out as it comes to them.

The trickiest part would be setting the bot up to read the rules page, and that can be gotten around by just copy-pasting the rules to a .txt file and having the bot read from that instead.

What is the internet for?

Answer: Porn

I feel this question is both universal, and in the spirit of QQ. Also it is easy to google if by some chance you don't know the answer.
