> There are web forums that are not "web-scale" and don't spend all day fighting bot spam. The solution is real simple: it costs 10 bux to register an account, if you're a nuisance your account is banned and you pay 10bux to get back on. There is a big problem with all sorts of activists though. Their modus operandi is finding forums they don't like and the go on post illegal material and reporting it to hosting provider. Many forums stopped accepting new users because of that and for instance only way to sign up is to find the owner and speak directly to them.
