The site already has Google captcha and 9 pics and you have to identify which have taxis in it etc. But the bots can often get around that.
I think the pictures to identify are on a random basis, aren't they? I have seen bikes, taxis, crosswalks, bridges, etc....
The thing that is of concern is bulk attacks,
what's a *bulk* attack?
The easy-to-deal with issue is manual spammers. We have a team there that is on their ass!
well that's great! makes me wonder if the manual spammers are being paid by people to do that work. do you know? I remember back when I posted that thread about the silicon valley guys connecting to my computer....I remember the agent telling me at some point (if you haven't already read this):
now Adam, I need you to follow my instructions step by step, otherwise my life could be in danger. I could lose my job.
what employer threatens an employee's life, even if they go so far as having inappropriate relations in the office with a co-worker!?!? That gave me the impression that the poor guy didn't even know who he was working for. I wish I could've helped him if that was indeed the case. I'm sure it was, as a lot of unsuspecting people like that are just looking to earn a living and they are very vulnerable. =(
