I notice in Jac's deletion log that the same articles often are remade again and again. Though title creation is pointless I think instead, a simple quiz question for anyone who's played the game would work.

I notice this wiki include the Google-Torture CAPTHCA to create an account. This took me several hours to get past. In contrast, this wiki website is flooded with bots that instantly get past it. This is how Google's Torture-CAPTCHA works. There's been plenty of news articles proving that bots have been able to get past it since 2006. If a computer can make it, a computer can get past it. All you need is some basic question about the actual game and those who played it, like me, can get past it and bots cannot. Binary computers don't process meaning, they only can mimic understanding, so any question with meaning will defeat it. Difficult2Register (talk) 01:40, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

if you want to stop spam, get rid of the Google-Torture CAPTCHA. It is impossible to bypass as a human and so everyone needs a browser extension to get by the torture-pages with it.

There you go. This is how people get past your CAPTCHA. As a sysop, you've never had to solve this on this website. But for everyone else, only those with software can get by it. That's why this thing kills the userbase and lets spambots in. You can try it yourself! Difficult2Register (talk) 06:40, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
