Is this a fair question to ask new registrants?

What is the last name of the Buffalo Sabres' Head Coach?

 

 

We are getting a boatload of spam accounts being registered and I would like to weed out the ones who can answer the simple the math question I had by asking a very easy question that someone with even passing knowledge of the Sabres could answer.

 

Is this fair?

 

 

I don't know, it sounds like you're being pretty Ruff on new registrants.

 

 

AHAHAHAHAAhahaaahaha!

 

Ha.

Oh dear, I wish you'd have a heart-to-heart with my wife. :censored:

That gives me an idea for a new one! The time has come...

 

Perhaps this is the wrong thread for language like that? :o

Fair.

 

Sizzle beat me to the bad humor response that it is a rough(Ruff) question.

 

You could also do something like how many periods in a game, minutes in a period, minutes for a minor penalty,,, etc.

 

 

On a side note/question, is this why I have been unable to get confirmation validation of the new account I registered on TBD this week ?

Everyone should get an email to a valid address. Then I approve after that.

It's a fair question, but think about what happens if we were to let go of Ruff for some reason with no immediate replacement. Unlikely, but it might be an avoidable headache. Maybe find a question that never changes, like "Name the inaugural year of the Buffalo Sabres." [1970] Maybe that's harder then "Ruff," but you'll never have to think about changing the question again.

Or what year was the first Bills superbowl win?

just do a general hockey question. what are the 5 different amounts of time a player can be penalized for in a game. Or maybe make them list at least 5 infractions a player can be called for?

Can you ask them to spell Connolly, Pominville, and Kaleta correctly?

 

Oh wait 75% will get it wrong.

Better yet how about Regehr, Ehrhoff, and Pominville...

 

Ask them who tim connolly plays for... that would be a good one.

 

Speaking of him the leafs think him and kessel are going to put up big numbers together and that they finally have a top line... :clapping: now thats funny
