I understand that forums / FB Groups have to have some way to reduce Spam but I've just tried to join a couple and was asked:

What would your theme song be ?

What noise does an RX7 make ?

On another it forced you to make two posts on an "introductions" page before you could do anything else

I'm joining a car forum to talk about cars, not wanting to take long hot baths together, I don't give a crap what your name is, what sex / religion / nationality you are, nor what your dog is called.

Is that really unusual ?

To answer the first question - I went with "WTF" on the basis that if that offended them, then I'd save everyone time.

I don't think the questions thing is tooooo unreasonable, in that, any auto-spam bots will be easily weeded out by these questions

I'd thing anything vaguely music related to the first one would probably see you in good stead.

But I haven't seen the "introductions" page thing before that's a new one on me.

Joining Abarth forum was quite a challenge. A lot of questions I had to look up answers for, because I simply don't care about scorpion logo, I don't know how many legs or heads it has, etc. I just wanted to read about Abarth.

Wow, sounds like you are going to be more than welcome with that attitude OP.

Does it really bother you that much?

It has taken longer for you to post this thread than just answer a few basic questions.
