Let's say picture will say 25*2+48 and user have to provide the answer...
Yep, that image system is kind of old and the Eastern Europeans have figured it out. However, even the brand new image verification systems are vulnerable, I hear. I think our only solution is to moderate all new users the way we do those under 13, but that takes an Administration change - we're working on it.
