squeakyLooks like humans are creating the accounts, then they throw it at a bot. I need to come up with a better way to detect that so I can throw a captcha at it.- igpayatinlayI don't know how to create this - or sadly an app to batsignal your phone - but is there any merit to the idea of if you comment more than five times in thirty seconds (or some freakishly fast equivalent that only spambots could be capable of), your comments are subject to captcha verification for... idk, an hour or two?
