Yes.
This is starting to get out of hand. The spam was VERY noticeable today |
| dudemang #1307363 2 months ago |
Captcha isn't infallible, but I believe it would be a step in the right direction. |
| Yorec #1307367 2 months ago |
Yes, seriously the spammers are getting ridiculous. |
| Mushi #1307369 2 months ago |
yes |
| PowerToole #1307390 2 months ago |
What do you mean captcha isn't infallible, dudemang?
Are computers sentient now? If so, cool. Scary, but cool. |

Needs captcha, account email confirmation, the works. |
| Littlecabbit #1307424 2 months ago |
Yes, it's really starting to get annoying now |
| Bolan #1307426 2 months ago |
Sure, why not. |
| AppleDash #1307429 2 months ago |
I have seen a few accounts posting spam so it wouldn't help significantly. It would be more of a hindrance to anons than it would help against spammers. |
| reijikido #1307443 2 months ago |
Yes and ban any supposed named accounts that spam |

JUST DO SOMETHING.
Wait....WHO can do something about this again? |

#444 here
I wasn't quite sure if this was only for people with actual accounts dealing with the "other" anons. |
| PowerToole #1307490 2 months ago |
@444
No! You're a liar and a deceiver and you're gonna spam the place sooner or later! Get out! There's nothing for you here, you good for nothing Anonymous! Never trust an Anonymous! Visit http://www.clothes6.org for more information. |

PowerToole@1307390 said: Well, for one thing, the general observation that nothing is truly secure unless it's absolutely remote (typically) holds true. :p The other thing being that I've seen people discussing how to bypass Captchas on certain *chans and the like. I've seen people poking holes in this. Granted, I don't know of any particular instances off the top of my head where Captcha has noticeably failed, so, my last statement is just general pessimism. I don't have any reason at present time to believe Captcha can't be defeated by someone determined enough. That said, to dismiss Captcha on this broad skepticism and claim it's unsuitable because it's not perfect would just be a Nirvana fallacy on my part. |
| dudemang #1307511 2 months ago |
...Also, that's a good point. Most of the spam is just from named accounts that are arbitrary mixes of letters and numbers.
Anons aren't really the problem at all. We'd have to implement the Captcha on everyone. man that would be a pain |
| Anonymous #1307518 2 months ago |
This is why we can't have nice things. |
| Roxxas #1307520 2 months ago |
capca... ooh that thingy... well we need something to stop the trolls. |
| Anonymous #1307526 2 months ago |
i say give it a shot if it fails whatever someone tried to do something to stop spam its better then doing nothing at all
alternate ideainclude a spam show hide option like on youtube |
| LightsaberGuy #1307527 2 months ago |
let's not become /b/... I'd prefer not to become /b/ and use those stupid Captchas... |
| dudemang #1307532 2 months ago |
^ All of 4chan, save for maybe /f/, uses Captcha. That was really the only way to curb the spam. |
| Goobahpalooza #1307552 2 months ago |
Captcha?!
What are we, /b/? Please don't answer that... |
| PowerToole #1307570 2 months ago |
^ I'm gonna answer that.

Yes.
We already have Captchas to deter malicious image re-tagging. I have no idea why comments and image uploads don't require them as well, especially given the spam dumps we've been getting lately. |
| Takashi_0 #1308096 2 months ago |
>What are we, /b/?
Considering the rampant douchebaggary and the mods being too damn lazy to do anything about it, pretty much yeah. |
| Anonymous #1308141 2 months ago |
Eeeeeeeeeee......nope |
| Babbling_brooke #1308154 2 months ago |
No. As in no Anonymous in the first place. |
| JP #1308277 2 months ago |
I report every image that has spam comments, but I don't know if anyone reads those reports... |
| DGPencil #1308593 2 months ago |
Our website has been attacked. In a panic we build walls to keep the anonymous out so a few bad ones won't get through. This will lead to fewer anons commenting on the site which means fewer potential members to add to the community in the longer term. Slowly we may tear ourselves apart as we become more insular and non accepting of new members as they could be a possible troll. Build a resistance to trolls instead of building safeguards to hide from them. |
| AppleDash #1308748 2 months ago |
The only way to really fix this is for the mods to reproduce and create little mod children and those mod children will grow and have kids of their own and eventually we will have a whole big old family of mods on here ready to stop any spammers.
...basically I'm saying we need more mods. |
| benger #1308856 2 months ago |
my guess is that the spam isnt directed at us, meaning no one is checking to see if it is going through. obsucation code wuld probubly stop it. i knwo how to do that, i would PM echo and offer my help if i wasnt so busy... |
| Anonymous #1310400 2 months ago |
Just make it it possible to report spam and IP ban the bots. |
