"security" question on a login form: "What's your favorite sports team". Anonymous message asking the same. Would I reply? Probably not.

Also, the question might reveal the future present. Perhaps ask more questions at once to mask the real intent. Still, I would not reply to this, not sure what the solution would be.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about security questions. Even though I've never encountered ones matching the questions Anonysize asks, I'm sure they exist.

I have been watching the logs of messages and about 20% of messages get a "?" or "Who is this?" response ... I'm hoping I can do some A/B testing to see what messaging works best.

Needs some polish, but nonetheless a fantastic concept!

Thanks. "Polish" isn't my strongest suit.

Seems nifty for the intended purpose, but then the unintended uses are many. Anonymous threats, for instance. Any mechanism for reporting abuse?

No reporting mechanism yet.

I don't follow how it could be used for anonymous threats. Since the question options are fixed. Can you elaborate?
