Some new members never post

Ok, I got it.

David has implemented the feature you're talking about. It presents an image to the registrants and asks them to enter the characters they see in the image. This ensures that a human is registering.
However, there are humans that get paid to register on sites so that the account (member ID) can be used later on by bots. These users are banned once their true identity is made evident by their behavior in the forums.

I've always wanted to ask this question...
I've always known the typing the characters in an image ensures that you are human. If I was a bot (:lol::p) what would I do to the characters?

If you're a machine, you can't 'read' the characters in the image, so you don't know what characters should be input. If the wrong characters are input, access (registration) is denied.

Yes, it's correct, if you are machine never you won't see the words in the image.

Crotalito, I'm going to make a correction...
Yes, that's right. If you are a machine you will never/you won't see the letters in the images.

Ok, as I said in my previous post, if you are a machine, you never won't watch the letter of the image showed in the website, then if you are intelligent, and if you are a good programmer then you will able to do much things with Linux.

wow we definitely need more active members....930 members and now only 290 active! Any ideas on how to encourage them to be more active?

Ok, as I said in my previous post, if you are a machine, you never won't watch know the letters of the image showed in the website; then but if you are intelligent, and if you are a good programmer then you will able to do many things with Linux.

What is Linux?

I think the original question about why some new members don't post has been answered, and this thread has gotten pretty far off topic. Let's try to keep threads on-topic and not go on about too many extraneous things.

Thread closed.
