It's obnoxious and there better ways of preventing spam that don't require guess work. Maybe I'm the only one who has had this problem, if so then fine; sorry to bother. Just wanted to download RSRD anyways.
Yes, you just wanted to take, not to give. That's why we call it a community.

Look mate, I know Q&A is a pain but if you know "better ways of preventing spam that don't require guess work", share them please. I'm all ears, and I would be eager to say, "Hey, you're right, that is a better way." And then I would implement the better way, and give you credit, and praise you. Right now there are 8 people checking daily for spam, and I don't see why the burden should be only on them.

It happens that I did set up the Q&A to allow for U-boot, U-boat, Uboot, Uboat, boot, etc. And I checked, the answer in place for US of... is America. Honest. Doesn't matter anyway, the answers are not case sensitive (unless something is broken).

I am open to reasonable criticism. You are welcome to post in the poll, too.
