Forum Markers to weed out the robos?

Post by cleantune »

.
I was just in a thread and I tried to make sense of this response:
"It's really exciting Post your great never met anyone out to much information as you can."

I'm assuming its a bot, using/trying to use common words on this forum in a sentence? It doesn't make any sense and I was wondering if maybe we could come up with a Marker of some sort to help weed out any suspected bots. Something like an uncommon key word or phrase typed in as a response to the suspected bot quote, which can then be easily used to locate the thread by searching for that key word or phrase. From here a decision could be made as to whether or not the "Noob" member is a bot or not.

What do you guys think?

cool thanks. Do think a search marker idea like this would help to ease the process of hunting through the threads for "bots", or is it not really worth it?

How about all new members can only post in a certain section? Until approved? Maybe have them take a knowledge test on the KA? Some basic questions?

Problem is when they need to be approved, it may take a couple days as some mods are not on all the time. Airman will address eventually
