- jonknee 18y agoCraigslist's phone verification works well. The downside is it's expensive to run and hard if not impossible to scale globally.
- Goladus 18y agoThe best you'll ever get is human to human contact. But that doesn't scale cheaply.
- shader 18y agoAnd there is the essence of the need for captchas ;) You need to scale, so you employ computers instead of people. Now you have to have computers run a reverse turing test. Otherwise, it's much easier for spammers to scale as well. It's easy to cut down on spam if you don't accept any incoming mail.
