Similar to my last mod but should work with screenreaders so hopefully no accessability issues.
Based on the same idea as the WordPress GateKeeper Plugin
This mod may help prevent bots (web robots) from doing the following on your forum;
1. Registering accounts automatically
2. Posting link spam automatically
3. Emailing your members automatically
It does this by asking the user to answer a unique (easy) question which the forum admin can set in the admin area. This is called a CAPTCHA test - Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. For more information on Captcha's see - http://www.captcha.net/. This mod should be compatible with screenreaders for accessability purposes.
Example
Please do not use the question or answer in the above example. It would be the first thing programmed into a robot.

Please go through and fix the read me. It is REALLY SCREWED UP! Almost every instance similar to this:
You are missing the closing:
In so many places it is missing an AMPERSAND and some spots (following):
...it is missing a quote and ampersand (" &)
This occurs in nearly every part of the readme. I ended up doing a "FIND" with Dreamweaver in the EDITED FILES and copy/pasted those into the appropriate spots. Just an FYI. <
Code:
" <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor """><a name=""gatekeeper""></a><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace """ size="" strDefaultFontSize """ color="" strCategoryFontColor """ ><b>What is the Antispam Gatekeeper?</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _You are missing the closing:

I am now also having problem using Quick Reply. It is saying I did not enter/entered incorrect antispam info. Do we need to add the anti-spam boxes to the quick reply as well?<

Don't know what happened the readme. That shouldn't be happening with the quick reply.<

I'll try to have a fixed readme by the end of today.<

This looks promising and might stop many of my problems. Thanks for sharing, Podge! Is everything in order now?<
