So what your looking for is a Question they have to answer before they become a member and a simple question at that but not something that can be easily generated like birthdate, or something of that matter..

hmm i will have to see if i can think of one.

think this should be in staff area as if one sees the question and knows the answer it would get passed the signup codes.

but i would say use the capta things or get them to type in a word like most signups do.

ok i would not know since i dont use other accounts so i would not see that

i would do something simple like what does HDD stand for or what does ps3 stand for but the capta or word thing i would say get a better one if there still signing up as they should not be.but yet what do i know.
