Re: Anti Bot?

Just have them type a string that contains letters numbers and symbols. Or have them answer easy math problems. You could also have the question written in the world with blocks. You could also have the sign say, "Stand on the blue block and hit the up arrow key". You could have the user do numerous amounts of things that easily prevent bots from getting access to the world.

A randomized string would definitely be a great idea.
I was gonna post about math problems but then I realized that you could just

//GOEYFUN: USERNAME: 5+2?
string question = msg.Split(' ')[2].Replace("?", "");
if (question[1] == '+')
con.Send("say", (int.Parse(question[0]) + int.Parse(question[2])).ToString());
if (question[1] == '-')
con.Send("say", (int.Parse(question[0]) - int.Parse(question[2])).ToString());

I'm not sure if thats that way you'd deal with chars but, it'd still work.
Hitting an arrow on a specific block is easier for a bot than it is for a user, you could send a movement message. :p
Although indeed, there are lots of ways you can do this, each with it's own pros and cons.

Got any ideas for private bots and/or BAL bots?
