And it is not possible. The forum software only offers
1) the scrambled letter picture
2) Predefined questions (text only) with predefined answers

There may be plug-ins, but then it can be a pain to update the forum software, if the plug-in is behind....
Yes, keeping the forum software up to date
easily is important.
So, do we need to come up with a large number of questions ? As much as anything, we need to be ready for change. While I found the previously mentioned questions easy I am sure thats not always the case and thats unfair (and bad for FPC/Lazarus)..
I am uncomfortable requiring a level of Pascal Knowledge, do others agree it needs to be easy get in for beginners ? But not bots or spammers ?
Would we be better having a low barrier to entry but very quick action of spam / trolling ? A bigger team, potential for mistakes ....
I guess other Forums must also be facing the same problem, its possible the Forum Software will also be adapting to this problem but will always be playing "catch up'.
Incidentally, I don't think its a good idea to post suggested question/answers here, google indexes this forum ....
Personally, I am very grateful for this Forum, its helped me a lot, entertained me a lot, and early on, at a time when I needed some help, not just technical. So, I am acutely interested in keeping it going, vigorous, open and easy.
