If the user answers it correctly, his post will be saved and the forum will rememeber that he is not a bot by setting a cookie. This method will protect from some quantity of spam bot attacks.

kidding.

you dont need to make extra server load, by add 10 anti spam plugins, i know some people have obsessions over that. there is no need, if you have made some experienced people in forum moderators.

pun_antispam protects now from these attacks, not from posting identical topics.
