First of all: This is cool!
Can this be automated? That would be really sweet.
There is an xkcd[1] comic where instead of captchas, users have to supply valuable insights, thus solving the problem of trolls once and for all.
This might be first step towards such a solution.

- MichaelBurge 10y agoIt seems like you'd just increase the volume of spam and tell your spambots to always vote "Constructive". If you release more spam than legitimate users send messages, you'll break through regardless of how they vote. You could even have your spambots downvote the real users, since they'd be displacing your precious viagra ads.
