IQ testing now required before posting

[bittraffic]

 Is getting the right answer by googling it considered smart? Because I did some googling before clicking post  If I still did it wrong then I'm definitely not smart enough even with google. And I got 95 still, Damn! 

Bitcointalk is surprising every April fools day. Shows how creative the people behind the forum.

The forum knows my IQ can not be measured in numbers so it didn't dare ask me any questions when I posted.

... Or edited my post

[NoorulHuda]

It means the Administrator is also going to be banned because here IQ is also 128.

April Fool's

What’s the IQ standard of average user here?  

I almost forgot this traditional April fools and knowing that I still have my Brain is amazing, I just hope that its also happening in real life since I rarely notice that my brain works normally in the past few years.

[Guljan78666]

IQ isn't a consistent measurement of intelligence, remember that people of the forum.

Yes I agree with you IQ is not consistent measurements of intelligence.

In order to improve the overall forum experience, going forward we are only going to allow smart people to post. To determine your intelligence, you will be required to answer a question every time you post (or edit your post). Your answers will be used to calculate your IQ, and starting next week, everyone with an IQ below 120 will be banned.

Let's make Bitcointalk.org into the ivory tower of excellence that it was always meant to be!

I'm crazy n't have IQ, because my brain turn off

[RaselShorif]

This is another good way of eliminating the spammers as those with low IQ can't be considered as a good posters.  

However you have given the punishment to ban people below the 120 IQ, how about giving some bitcoins to those who achieve the top 10 highest IQs and hire them as mods too.

We should actually implement this.

I think something like this could be a good optional learning tool for learning a bit more about Bitcoin. I know the intention isn't at all serious, obviously. However, I know that theymos' was interested in doing some sort of Bitcoin course, and tying it into the forum. Although, doing something like this which caters to Bitcoin questions, and having a way for users to compete or compare scores, could promote some users to gain some knowledge, even if they were googling the answers, they'd likely learn something.

We could basically offer some learning to users, when they would be posting anyway, and providing a leaderboard of some kind would likely motivate certain users. Obviously, making it optional, and doesn't impact the forum in any real way. Think it could be fun, without other too many downsides.

It appears that your score is determined by the number of questions you get right when you post and/or edit your post. I guessed my answer and my score went up, so I have no idea if the algorithm actually requires a correct answer, or if it scores an answer as correct randomly.

It's actually an April Fool's joke
As always we are having a good joke this year as well, where I don't understand the questions below, but google works fine to solve

[Quickseller]

It appears you get points for each correct answer, however the affect of each correct answer appears to decay.

Now that my IQ is proven to be sufficiently high, I can officially post.

[Pandu Geddon]

it's too early for a joke in early April.
I still haven't even brewed coffee, but I see my IQ is below 120. Should I join a special school to increase my IQ?

I hope the forum will provide threads to increase the IQ of active members here  

[Habibmim]

I hope this is April fool

[Rizwan123]

[famososMuertos]

consensus: IQ:+240=>sm

[infinitesimal]
