Post-verification answers for nonenglish-speakers

[Arnold Rimmer]

Please re-think the post-verification answers.
"You cool a room with an air _______:" neither "condition" nor "cooler" works there.

I am not asking to get rid of the system, just make the valid answers less language-specific.

If it helps, us English speakers find them troublesome as well. I'm not sure why Tynan's post-verification is so complex; I don't recall another forum that needed 2 verification questions, let alone 5.

the solution is "conditioner"
condition -> something's status, i.e. the air is cool
conditioner -> something that changes the status of something else

yeah, english is quite weird, especially if it's not your native language, or if you don't want to invest some time in learning the language ... compare these german and english words:
(ger) Mord = (en) murder: the action to kill someone
(ger) Mörder = (en) murderer: the person, who kills someone

it's the same as everywhere: some things can be really confusing if you don't know them exactly


tbh: I had to do 2 minutes of research and some tries to find out that the correct answer here is "conditioner"

Why not make it non-english entirely? That way no bot will be able to complete it .

Scalare, that is actually a good idea. (I am bending it a little)
The questions and answers could be provided by the translationteams.
Then, based on ones forum-language-setting, one would get PVQA's
in ones own language, easy to understand and easy to answer.

(I just noticed that those Questions do not appear EVERY time i post
something, is that an intended behaviour or a glitch?)

There's a limit. Once you pass that limit you won't see the verification questions ever again.

No, I think others should feel the same discrimination as us foreigners do . Just have people from Canada and the USA answer questions in chinese before being allowed to post.

you gotta see this from another angle: this stumbling blocks make sure, that the people who want to post here have a minimum knowledge of the english language. they're at least able to look for the correct answers on google, and don't post complete nonsense here.

Google has had support for other languages since the early beginnings, as does Rimworld.

The primary colors are red, green, and ______:


When did green become a primary color? Has my public school education failed me yet again by teaching Red, YELLOW and Blue as the primary colors?

Depends if you are dealing with Subtractive Colour such as Paint/Printing or Additive Colour like a Computer / TV Monitor.

Why don't we just put all the answers in a sticky in this forum? It's for bot detection but no bot is smart enough to link the 2 together.

[gadjung]

non english speaker - had 0 problem with questions, also questions showed for like first 5 posts.
Even if, it's easy enough to use google (it gives correct answer to air conditioner question at least).

If it was so simple i guess it would be already done

Then I guess we have to wait until Quebec passes laws about making adhering to WCAG guidelines mandatory, and here's why:
Disabled people won't be able to answer the question about what's on top of the page, since the image doesn't have the same alt text as the text in the image, so when they view this page with a screen reader they keep on entering 'ludeon forums' making you effectively restrict visually impaired people from posting on these forums .
