I manage a large community

I manage a large community (~200k users) and you would be surprised how many registered users are spammers.

The larger the community the more spammers see it as an lucerative opportunity.

Bots vs Humans

Are your spammers human or are they bots? Are they stopped by CAPTCHA?

(CAPTCHA = Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart)

Good Point

You make a good point Goal Gorilla,

My spammers are human so a CAPTCHA would not stop them.
