- kgermino 13y agoOut of curiosity, how effective was that move at stopping spammers? It seems really easy to program a bot to create an account on the submission page, for example. Are spambots really that automated (and un-targeted) that a change so simple stops them?
- pg 13y agoYes, it worked quite well.
