antiSPAM my A$$EVERYTIME WE POST ON STOCKHOUSE WE HAVE TO ENTRE ANTISPAM CHARACTERS !!! WTF LOL ATISPAM MY A$$ AND EVERYTIME I REPORT THEM..STOCKHOUSE SAYS THEY DISAGREE WITH ME???? What's This? - Anti-Spam Technologyclose window We have instituted an anti-spam technology to prevent the automtatic posting of bogus ads. We hope you find that the benefit outweighs the extra step to posting content. What is this strange picture? The image is called a Turing Test after mathematician Alan Turing. Its purpose is to determine if the poster is a person or a machine. The image is dynamically created and shows a random combinations of letters and numbers in a slightly distorted format. Human beings can easily read distorted characters; machines however have a much more difficult time doing this and most cannot do so successfully. In order to post content, you must also match the Turing number displayed in the image. Why are you using it? Simply put, to prevent SPAM. Automatic bots can post large amounts of junk advertisements costing you time and making reading less enjoyable. By using a simple test to confirm a person is posting content, we can improve the Stockhouse experience for all. So there will never be SPAM on Stockhouse? Unfortunately no. A Spammer could still post manually. However, this method is slow and not profitable to the spammer
