Joanna from IRC:
Is there a way to determine if a guest is human or bot besides browsing speed or viewing habits?
I’m assuming that a bot will methodically navigate the forums in some logical order section by section, thread by thread. Maybe stopping after recent posts if it has already collected earlier dates.
This is all speculation of course, I’ve never written a website scraper bot...

Everything related to making things more secure is a big nuisance. I would rather not have to lock anything or login. I’d prefer to have a forum where I could just come and participate without an account..

Crawlers are necessary to make search engines work. Anyway, how to do forum system administration is not on topic here.
