I just watched a Swedish thriller series on Netflix called Blood Sacrifice.
One of the protaganists is a railway modeller and we see his layout several times.

Our small team of Mods cannot be online 24/7 but if any bot/nutjob does actually get onto the site we're lucky in having a membership and reporting tool that, almost immediately, flags up spammers such that the Mod team can take action so - thanks Folks. Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

Come to think of it, apart from on the forum, I've only had dealings with Tank over the phone, and that could have been anybody :hmmm:  :worried:  ;)

I actually built one of those robot arm kits. I got more enjoyment out of building it than I have since :worried:

Quote from: chrism on Yesterday at 08:08:10 AMConsidering that self-driving cars can spot traffic lights and mopeds, I doubt it's beyond the abilities of a bot with only a modicum of AI built in to do likewise  :D

Mind you, most sites that want to check only ask me to tick a box to say that I'm not a robot - hardly a strong verification requirement.

I mean this was 9 years ago!

But you'd need to make sure that it didn't mistake a screw reverser wheel for a steering wheel  :smiley-laughing:

Build an infinite feedback loop sending it a verification code that doesn't stop. The users that get fed up and go can be emailed the right verification code to get an account. The bots will just have their own world to play in.

Not a workable solution but a fun one nevertheless.
