Which forum?

You may have encountered a "real person challenge" designed to flummox the spambots when attempting to auto-register.

The fact that your reply contained text that was unique is all it requires. Spambots could do that, but if each application to join is moderated then it's clear which is which.

Unfortunately spambots are the scourge of forum and other social network admins (ask John!) and one of the reasons I closed three very busy forums that use this phpBB software three years ago. I got sick of it.
