Jollygoodfellow Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 I wonder if we will need a tool like this one day here on the forum A web security company is offering a free tool designed to prevent users of social networks from posting embarrassing drunken messages online.On the premise that "Nothing good happens after 1am," the tool from Colorado-based Webroot promises to "put an end to the embarrassment that follows regrettable, late-night posts".The Social Media Sobriety Test is a free plug-in for Firefox web browsers.It requires a user of Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube or Tumblr to perform a coordination test before being allowed to access the service.The tests include keeping a cursor inside a moving circle or correctly identifying a series of flashing lights.If a user fails they will be blocked from using a service.Sobriety Test users can set the hours they would like the blocking tool to be in force.Google also offers a tool for its Gmail service designed to prevent users from sending drunken emails. "Mail Goggles" forces users to solve five simple math problems in less than a minute in order to send a Gmail missive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know about on here because we have a pretty good group, but if that were to be instituted on some forums, then I am pretty sure that there would be hardly any posts on them.

Jake Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Are you kidding me Boss Man? There is no way I could maintain position of my cursor inside a moving circle, even if I was stoned sober.But on the other hand, I could probably manipulate the circle around the moving cursor if I was I was under the influence of somethingelse he, he........

They go in the same pattern every time. Go down and dodge, then head up to the top left corner and just wait. By ten seconds you quickly jump down to bottom left, and then it's a free for all.
