Quiz/test knowledge messages can be used for:

- Registration  (to prevent bot/spam users asking them to read forum rules and basic Bitcoin faq, and then answer them)

We have users on this forum who don't speak a word of English and we will probably have more in the future. With such an implementation you would be limiting Bitcointalk to only those who can understand English well enough to pass the test.  

Google and other automatic translations works wonders nowadays.
And we (machine) would ask simple to understand/translate questions.
I also proposed in other topic to put more focus on growing other language sections Local boards.



I would like to see this introduced in Bitcointalk forum.

Quiz/test knowledge messages can be used for:

- Registration  (to prevent bot/spam users asking them to read forum rules and basic Bitcoin faq, and then answer them)
- for Ranking Up  (extra way to rank up with answering quiz/test of knowledge)
- preventing users break forum rules (by educating them with quiz/test and rewarding with merit if they pass)

It can be useful for:

- educating users
- preventing spam/bots
- improving merit and ranking system
- improving Bitcointalk forum


This thought also passed my mind a while back tbh. It might help, tho I would assume it would only lead to a new service on the forum "pass quiz for you ! only $2 in BTC. GUARANTEED !!!" of "sell account with all quizzes passed with 10/10 " or "rank booster: will pass account rank quiz".
Tho your intentions are definitely honorable, might not have the full desired outcome.
Still up for debate tho Smiley


Probably true... BUT we could add rule that restrict that service and ban users for cheating
