PMHUB-G New way to stop spammers from joining Forums

as of last week, newly registered members are asked 3 questions before
their registration is accepted. The question is simple and involve
knowing about PMP, PMI and PMBOK.

If you by any reason failed to pass the test, please write to
pmhub@pmhub.net for members activation

For years we depended on CAPTCHA where you have to guess what a random
string of characters.
Using CAPTCHA, spammers perform well but many of us who wear eye
glasses failed.

Then for more than one year, we used manual activation. The manual
activation is based on the assumption that PMs read PMHUB admin
instruction on what to do and request for activation. In fact, many
PMs ignore the instruction and some spammer read the instruction and
request for activation.

In the last 7 days, at least 1,000 spammers failed to register - this
is a good sign. However we are not sure how many PMs were not able to
register. If you are one of those, please write to pmhub@pmhub.net
