Re: Can You Write a Sure-fire Algorithm to Stop Bots?

Meh. Leave the drama bomb in the zoo. Withholding "ideas" that aren't implemented, and probably won't be implemented is silly. If the sites cared about the bot problem, if there is a bot problem, they would do something.
Off the top of my head I would think some kind of question written with the letters scrambled would be enough to mess up a bot. Not a captcha but a real, short answer question.

Not only bots are not an issue currently, but they actually are good for the games.
The ask a question approach unfortunately will not work. While it will ban some fishes with IQ < 20, a good bot will make google search with the question, then look of which of the a,b,c,d answers (or whaever) on the site match best toward what is found in google.
