I've been struggling with Russian (at least according to their IP
addresses) spammers/trolls/bots hacking into the Matchism forum for
the past few months, a problem that has gotten significantly worse
over the past few weeks. The problem is that most of the "Captcha"
routines have now been broken, resulting in fake accounts being
created at the rate of dozens an hour (and once an account is
"verified" by email they promptly fill the forum with spam and/or fake
political rants).
But I think I've got these holes plugged now and would appreciate it
if you all could help me make sure that I haven't just shut *everyone*
out. If you could create an account and make sure you can post
(nothing selling erection pills, just so I can distinguish you from
the spammers!), it'd be very helpful.
To give you something to talk about, I've posted my response to the
Democracy.earth proposal, and put up a short "rules of thumb for
designing an EDD system" post:
