Question Validation

  1. Is there a way to have a question answer validation. For example. What is 2 + 2?

    We know that answer is 4 but is there a way that we can make that the only answer that is valid?

  2. You can do that if you use a numeric field and set the range to the answer value.

  5. Is there a way to have a random field come up, just in case a spammer gets wise to the question?

  6. Currently, no. There isn't a way to do this with a random value. But we are aware that people want more captcha related anti-spam tools and they are on our (very long) to do list.

  7. The thing I like about the random question is that it is much easier for the user. Some of those recaptcha words can be difficult to read and could cause some users to just not bother.

    Using maths and obvious questions is good.

    Another one I likethat I saw somewhere, was a simple check box and a message that said "If you are a human do not select this box", then any forms that had the box selected were ignored (something about spam bots always checking every box they coem across).
