Contact moderators

[banantutte]

Where can i contact moderators? Your security questions is too hard.

[SeeMoreDigital]

The Forum / Site Suggestions & Help (https://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=45) sub-section is as good a place as any...

What is the problem?

[wonkey_monkey]

I think it's the idea that it relies on a specific piece of knowledge. It's a fine way to weed out bots but it also excludes humans, particularly those who want to come here to learn.

name a popular mpeg-4 encoder gui that is beign [sic] discussed on this forum

Yeah, see I don't know that either.

what software is the most popular thread in the development forum about?

LameXP... only you can't see that if you're not logged in, because by default it only shows you a single thread. And I have no idea if that question/answer is even up to date...

What is the name of the script-based frame server used for processing/filtering video?

Avisynth. Or is it VapourSynth?

name a popular mpeg-4 asp encoder

No idea. Is there more than one? If there is more than one, will any answer do, or is it expecting a particular answer?

name a popular video player supported on this board

Uh... how is anyone supposed to know which answer is expected?

A hint that you can refresh the page to get a different question would be nice, but even nicer would be a proper CAPTCHA. Even a basic homebrew one with a handful of static images should be good enough.

[tebasuna51]

Ok, I understand.

But the moderators can't change that.

Like is not related with AviSynth I move the thread to Forum / Site Suggestions & Help

For such "bot" messages, there is alsways the possibility of clicking upon http://forum.doom9.org/images/buttons/report.gif
What happens next is debatable, but at least the mods have been informed about.

Luckily when I joined the forum these security questions did not exist yet. I also doubt the usefulness of these questions, the waiting period before you can post should be enough to keep the trolls and bots out.
but it also excludes humans, particularly those who want to come here to learn.

Sometimes I can't help the feeling that this is part of a certain "elitist" attitude, that novices are not really welcome here, let them go to VideoHelp instead... :(

I agree, the questions are 'a bit' outdated. Removed that requirement to register.
