Captcha? Who Here Would Disagree?
LockedI personally would be happy to have to fill out a Captcha before posting, if my opinion counts for anything.
It is really a sad fact — we live in such a marketing driven and abusive world that you can’t trust EVEN A TECHIE to respect free technology. I suspect the people spamming this sight with illegal passports (and other stuff) probably make a big mess at restaurants also, talk too loud in movie theaters, throw trash into the street — AND would be the first to complain if any of their internet liberties were infringed.
And — if I can point out the obvious, anyone answering any of these posts is just asking for a world of trouble. Avoid, avoid.
So — I would vote for a strong Captcha mechanism applied to all posts. It takes five extra seconds. Only a few people post compared to the many that read. But I am open to other opinions on this.
