I thought that quote orginated from Kent Brockman (Simpsons http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-for-...ew-x-overlords)
Anyway, what a relief from spam now!
thanks texrat and reggie

If you didn't try already I would log the http requests at a low level to see if there is some some unique string they use for the user-agent or some other http header field. Bot authors are stupid and lazy IMO, they might have some crap in there you can just block from apache...

So now owning a device will be the new requirement? :P I think not. Good try, though.
a google image search should be enough

Posting this here as well from an email that was sent to me directly:
I have increased this to 6 images. Also, note that the images are not fixed and they randomize from an image pool of about 30.
I've changed this to Captcha.
It can be trivial if you are a maemo fan. Spambots just compile a list of forums and their automated software would do its thing. The key here is to change the question frequently -- say every month.
Thanks.

There are several spammers still getting in. Note that we can't block those who manually register (as human), but we do check their current IPs from a global database of recent spammers.
Ok, one more change. Members that are not Active Users (less than 5 posts) will go through Captcha when posting a new thread or replying to an existing thread. They will not have the Quick Reply option (that appears at the bottom of the thread) as well.

Level 1 can be guessed once in 4 attempts
Level 2 is trivial (regex extracts '' enclosed strings easily).
Level 3 is always Nokia, and therefore trivial.
Thanks.
