any ideas for something to replace the current safety question?

I dont have a real idea:
- it must be easy
- but not "obvious" for a bot

tell your suggestions

AntiCapcha is a race between bots and hoster ...
reCaptcha is very safe ...
Other solutions are more expensive ...

You could have a randomized question about the game that is easy for anyone who plays or has google, but would be near impossible for the bot to figure out....

Random pick from 5 questions such as

What is the name of the cybran t1 assault bot? "mantis"
What is the faction color for Aeon? "green"
What is the abbreviated name for the command unit? "ACU"


Not sure how that would work out, but I would bet that no foreign posters or bots would be able to come up with answers to that.

Show an unreadable captcha, and a big red text saying "ignore the captcha, just write 'random-string' into the textfield"... that worked for years on my own forum.

That is true,
but for a popular site like faforever,
which already has a unique anticaptcha ...
I think it does not work
