Can we just have CAPTCHA or HUMAN IDENTIFIER on VBulletin to prevent bot spam?

Bots are not that smart and a simple question prevents bots from spamming the forum.

  • 1+ 2 + 3 + 4 = ?
  • UE? What goes at the end?
  • Type computer

Or a CAPTCHA

Why can’t we just have this on VBulletin to prevent spam bots? The only thing that can’t be bothered is someone paid to spam to buy $19 worth of UE4 and cancel. If that’s the case I’ll take their job and continue to develop on UE4 and still get new update and can easily be Ip address ban or specific network ip address ban.

They are not actually spambots, they are human beings creating those accounts and spamming. So, Epic knows and they are working on it, and we are doing what we can.
