Why do you like the Star Wars D6 RPG? For gaming

How did you find The Rancor Pit? Internet

Yes, the Rancor Pit is located on the internet, but the question was how not where. And I do like the the Star Wars D6 RPG for gaming too, but I also like it because it makes my bookshelf more attractive. lol

I did some research just to be sure it wasn't just a language barrier. The email address was recently reported as spam on spam reporting website, and a few other red flags popped up with internet searches.

Your friend should have advised that "just like" is just not enough to get through.

I think i know this term "the den" from somewhere, it may actually be a genuine RPG site.

"den" is short for the site name, but seeing the rest of the user info I too think it it maybe a spam accont.
But this "den" is a real rpg site though, well the term "the den" is a short of one of them

Thanks for the info on the den. However in this case, "great" is not an acceptable answer to that question. The question was why. If you can't answer that in a way that shows you may not be a spammer, then I will deny it and you will have to resubmit a real answer to get through. And maybe spammers do hear about the RP at the den.

I don't share email addresses here but I do additional research like searching forum spam reporting sites if there is doubt that they may not be a real user. Like this guy who requested registration twice overnight...

I think we have our new slogan...

Code:
"The Rancor Pit: It's cool and easy to find on Google."


This one seemed iffy but I found that this same username had just been banned as spam on another forum yesterday.

Why do you like the Star Wars D6 RPG? : Because it is awesome

How did you find The Rancor Pit? : In Internet

The game is awesome, and I guess the Rancor Pit is "In Internet", but this registrant's email address references a webpage to make bets on a soccer player, so no thanks.

How did you find The Rancor Pit? : Jabba's rancor

While I am sure it is a fascinating story how Jabba's rancor lead you to his Pit, you only answered the other question with part of the question, so no thanks.

Does anyone think I should add another question to the registration request? Any suggestions?

"Who was Leia Organa's father" is a pretty simple one that would manage the bots, at least.

The bots are pretty easy to detect. It's some of the humans spammers that I can't always immediately dismiss so I have to spend time doing research to be sure. I'm sure a lot of human spammers have seen Star Wars so could answer that. So I'm thinking maybe a question about the game. "Which edition is your favorite?" Maybe? Or a factual questions about game mechanics?

I'd go simple; imagine the theoretical person who wanders in here and loves the series, but is looking to learn about the system? Or wants to talk Star Wars and d20 revised (in the appropriate section), but doesn't really know d6 all that much?
