RE: Testing If People Read Something Before Letting Them Comment
I probably would comment less. I feel like my comments are relevant.. Reading the article and commenting takes enough time without adding a quiz between haha! It would completely get rid of bots and the typical good posts, plz follow posts. I don't know where I stand on that. Im still a new user, not big or popular enough t have bots showing up all the time, it would be annoying though. So, basically.. sucks for you haha! You will figure it out though, then I can use your strategy before my posts start being over run with it..
LOL, Yeah that's one major issue. It's not much of an issue maybe for individuals, but overall it adds up to a lot of useless posts. Ah wellz.
What about a crappy image verify. It would work decent. Lots of things in crypto already use them. They probably stop some bots. I don't know what the best solution is, it does need to be discussed and addressed though!
That only means you can read the image verify, not that you read the content lol. The original point is about getting meaningful comments. A verify image would help for bot spam for sure
good points Pbock and Krnel. We gotta start somewhere though. I don't know. I owuld still respond from time to time if I had a quiz to do as well, It would just be more rarely. Only when I wanted to argue probably haha! If I just wanted to throw a link thats related and give a different perspective, I might not be excited enough to bother with the quiz after Ive read it.. Its good to start thinking of ideas though. Spam comments do suck, and something needs to be done!
I think it will have to come down to individual behavior to deal with other people's individual behavior lol.
Well, Crappy Image verification is NOT going to stop bots build from today onward.
With our current technology, it won't be too long before a basic guide/code template for bots that can easily bypass captcha and image verification becomes common place.
Bypassing a quiz that asks for knowledge of the post, especially if you have to actually understand the post (no "what was the first word on the second line" or "what is the main subject of the post") would require relatively good AI, which would need more space to be hosted and/or time to be created, which would reduce their prevalence (unless, of course, someone begins selling them specifically for that purpose).
I imagine questions like
" in this post, which of these did the author recommend for stopping stupid comments?
"
Most Plz follows and Good Post would, indeed, be eliminated this way, or the poster would unknowingly be forced to actual ingest the post before posting, which might tempt them to actually comment something more interesting than just "Amazing post, I love you... Love me back !!!"
