When registering an account you should be required to hit a series of notes in a flash plugin. Nothing too difficult, maybe one of each directional key, once per second for example, but if you can't do it successfully you can't register.
It's thematic and would keep spambots from signing up (unless they became custommade for ffr lmao)

This makes a lot of sense since this is a website based off of a rhythm game.

I like this idea. I'll make tons of accounts just to play the register level
But, it is a cool idea! |

Never going to work. Never going to be implemented.
Also, stop replying to them. Last edited by Squeek; 10-19-2008 at 05:12 AM.. |

Why don't the admins ever give a response to our ideas? People throw perfectly good ideas out there, gain support, and a mod swings by and says "no" and leaves. Can we get an admin, or at least a reason?

If you want, I can IM Tass specifically so he can come in here and say "No", or I can speak for him because this is obviously never going to work.
Believe it or not, some people actually do register here for reasons other than the game, and forcing them to play a modified version of the game, no matter how simple it is, would potentially lead to turning away new users. Rule #1 of spambot protection is that it must never turn away new users. |

How would Tass feel if a porn spam bot got a lawsuit on FFR from an angry 13 year old's parent? Like I said, we want reasons why and admins, not just a "no." That doesn't matter who it comes from. I can IM Tass, too.

this cant be to hard to implement when you click finish or something when your doen signing up you just go to like power or something a song almost no one can fail; or like 5 notes from power, aka like 1 minute of it lol. It wont turn anyone way to play like 20 secounds or so of a song on a rhythm based site...

You know, Squeek and the rest of the staff members probably have a million other reasons as to why it won't work, and he shouldn't have to explain, clarify, or reiterate them to every response. Just understand that they're doing their best to reduce the flow of SpamBots and leave the subject alone.

we have other, less intrusive, measures that we're working on implementing.

We know it's a problem. More than you do. And we know better than you do about what to do about it. You guys are seeing it as "Anything you can do to kill off the bots", which is the wrong way to look at it. You need to look at it as "Kill off the bots without turning away a single legitimate user". And you have no idea just how difficult that actually is. What the hell do you want from us? We have zero obligation to tell you anything other than "we're working on it" and we've given you that and so much more. |

I didn't imply anything. Let's not turn this into a rzr V.S. mods argument. In the meantime I'll shut up. Seems like everytime we try to help you guys just treat our ideas like crap.
