What is Comic-Con's Other Con Verification Question Help
« on: February 05, 2015, 02:14:54 PM »
I enter the following and I get it wrong:

Anaheim
Anaheim WonderCon
WonderCon
WonderCon Anaheim

Could someone please help? Basically I have to keep logging out and back-in so I get a different question so that I can post.

Thanks
What are you, Worf? Do you tremble and quake with fear at the approach of combat? Hoping to talk your way out of a fight like a Human? Or do you hear the cry of the warrior, calling you to battle, calling you to glory like a Klingon?

I tried like twenty different variations as well lol.  **** doesn't have a space in between!  The question or answer should be changed as its simply annoying to keep repeating the registration and having it fail.  it kinda discourages registration. :(

sorry for the difficulty!  Originally i had no space then folks complained & so i added a space <lol> do you have another suggestion for a question?  Seriously!  I've struggled with this over the years.  The questions have been the key factor in the war against spammers. 


Since the question needs to be one a lot of folks will know, there's no need to post the answer.

Why not use both **** and **** since the questions already exist  :D Or if it needs to be a comic con question - Where is Comic Con held every year?  I think San Diego definitely has a space lol

i've moved the wc question down the list.  i think that'll help

unfortunately, i need another question before i can eliminate the wc question & a variation of the sd question is already in play

can you kindly remove the answers from your post?  Thx!  i just don't want to make it easy for the spammers <grin>

I posted this on shout, but putting it here for posterity!

Why not just have the questions clarify what the answers should be.

"What is Comic Con International's other con? (no spaces):"
"Who is this super person: Clark ____"
"Alias of Spiderman: Peter _____"
"Comic book writer Stan ____"

While we're all supposed to be comic nerds, unfortunately people like my boyfriend just stole my account, because they can't figure out the question's answers. "Clark Gable doesn't work"

I'm bumping this thread because I just got stuck on this question for the longest time. I tried everything that OP (dcuodust) tried, plus "WCA." Finally tried the right answer with a space.  ;)

Unbelievably frustrating. (The XXXCon answer).  I've nearly given up on several occasions.

After a certain number of posts, are the questions disabled?

How about the question "He protects Gotham City" to replace the Other Con question.
