An idea I always had was to replace the captcha on the registration screen with a very simple laser quiz. Passing the quiz would be mandatory before you are allowed to post. I would include very simple questions so as not to stump people, but just to get them to sniff around a bit before rushing to ask questions. Questions like "Can a cheap dollar store laser pointer be modded into a burning laser?", and "At what power are goggles needed?", etc. This would weed out the real idiots who don't care at all about learning and let the rest educate themselves to the basics before posting. It would also stop spam as no one will bother learning about lasers to just post about cheap iPhones.
This is not a new idea. So why dont we do it? Or will Avery have a problem limiting ad views?
