Elitist Capcha
"Completely Automated Public Intelligence test to tell idiots and geniuses Apart." | |
It is a capcha program whose challenge is a multiple
choice.
It will give you 4 different option, you need to choose
the right one. (all is scrambled a bit to prevent bots as
well from guessing)
You can also have different varying levels of difficulty.
One question may be like... 1+3 =
?
but some pages will require harder answers (e.g. maths
questions you find in exams).
---------------
The test doesn't have to be about maths, it can be
anything! Like history. (e.g. registration to a history
forum, forces you to find out the name of a particular
president of USA)

This may in fact be a good way to quality control usership. What kind of test would hb have? |
|

maybe a test on how to bake a croissant? |

English-language sites, for example, might test you on rules
of capitalization, punctuation, and so on -- but that would
exclude some otherwise good posts, as illustrated by this
idea. |

//What kind of test would hb have?// If this were
implemented at the HB (and I don't think it should be) the
test would certainly be a quiz on the marked-f0r-deletion
categories). |

The general spirit of what you're advocating was baked (perhaps overbaked) back in the day as the newsgroup alt.hack |

Maybe we can use this to determine who has the
mental capacity to vote in federal elections... |

I was expecting a captcha the displays words found exclusively in Victorian prose. |

No, in an obscure and hard-to-enter character set such as ogham or cuneiform, shirley? |
|
|
And for 4chan, it would be if you could "triforce"...
(No idea how to write it :/ ) |
