Bots and Human verification

~emilsa Nov 24, 2012 Hobbyist Interface Designer

This site is flooded with bots.

I really REALLY, thik that the place would be a much nicer place if some kind of human verification is implemented, both when you sign up and when you fave a piece of art.

I suggest CAPTCHA !!!

Thank God! And I thought I was the only one doubting and noticing those accounts that just join and FAV like there is a million dollar prize for whoever faves the most. I really find it annoying, I mean it is like an empty fav...

Well at least they are not spamming profiles, that'd be total destruction.

CAPTCHA's are the most annoying thing ever invented...

How can it be too much of a hassle to report a bot or a spammer but not too fill out a CAPTCHA every time you

something?

No thanks, what $namenotrequired mentioned is true, bots are better than humans at Captchas so those things are only an annoyance to humans and do nothing to avoid spam, not to mention who cares if a bot faves your piece? is just some useless number anyway.
