I’d like to add a challenge question to the discourse to filter out spammers Any suggestions ? It’s tough because it can’t exclude beginners who are new to racket or programming. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/2X/e/ef10666e06c3851f010f837709f1a210f70dace1.png) ---

Wow, that's a toughie. Maybe just start easy and gradually make it tougher if it doesn't work? I have to say, I thought challenge questions were dead... I'm assuming that the answer has to be machine-checked? ---

None of that. I gave up and added a _reason_ field with text ‘Help us improve the community - let us know why you have registered’. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/2X/f/f7ccd2eb0b7498299e12b10cf156b460ebc85b1e.jpeg)
