    Does AK now give quizzes that you have to pass before you get membership????

    I think everone knows that LP (in reference to Audiokarma.org) is short for Loopie People. :razz: (That's a joke people, I am not bad-mouthing AK in all seriousness).

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    That's exactly right. Most of the word captcha's (the words you type in to prove your not a bot) the bots' have beaten. Quite a few of the places for forum administrators recommend switching to rotating questions, to gain entry. Questions should be easy enough for the average person to know easily or can find out easily.

    When we implemented questions for membership at PA, the amount of spammers and bots registering was dramatically reduced. Before it was implemented we were averaging close to 20 registrations a day from foreign IP addresses.
