Just use a captcha image. Not foolproof, but would eliminate a huge swath of bots. They don't even try this. Why?

- mrtksn 4y agoThen they will simply solve the captchas using captcha solvers or humans paid pennies per captcha. You do something else and the botmasters will respond. It's really hard to get rid of bots and fake accounts. Also, false positives are expensive because you end up annoying a real human and as a result your mistake doesn't disappear until you make it right.
