Judging by the number of spambots I've seen (and had banned), it doesn't stop the bots.
That's why I was careful on how I worded that. I believe that it prevents some bots, but obviously doesn't completely stop them. I don't understand why people have a problem with this. I would have thought that with my erretic mix of network connections, and variety of computers, that I would hit this a few times. I don't remember ever having had a captcha request with this site.
If you don't log out often then you wouldn't. Plus, Captchas on Tor Browser can be a real pain for what ever reason. It only takes requesting a new tor circuit for the site, but that can take a few tries occasionally. They will always find ways to register and spam the forum with those useless ICOs. I've seen and reported those bot accounts but they keep sprouting like mushrooms. What more if those captchas are not around, we could be seeing a lot ICO's always on the first page bumped by those bots. If there's another way to prevent them from posting automatically I would like to see them implemented around the forum. Like we need to solve a captcha for every post that we make.
Yeah, but try, and disable captchas, and see how far up shit street we would be then. At least with the Captchas it requires time, and effort to do it. Maybe they have a way of paying for people to do the work for them like the old text captchas had, but it still requires an investment, and at least stops certain people from exploiting the forum. Every post would be annoying for people on Tor connections think. But, adding the text captchas could be a good idea, and would at least require an investment from the people bumping. I know full well how bad the altcoin section is, and how over run it's getting, and often find myself spending way too much time trying to fight it. No doubt I'll continue doing so though
