RE: Testing If People Read Something Before Letting Them Comment
I don't really support it. It was an idea from what other people are doing because of issues they have. Steemit isn't big yet, but maybe in the future something like this, on a voluntary author basis, might be desired by some authors. Maybe clever people get by it anyways, but the authors might welcome a reduction in overall crap and let those who care to do a quiz get through, while maybe some spam still does.
It is an interesting concept indeed and sure worthy of exploration. Do you think there would be any way to actually build something like that into the blockchain itself, not just the interface? Like solving the quiz correctly would give you a specific posting key to allow you to post under a specific post? I'm kind of shooting in the dark since I don't really understand the underlying technology that well.
An overall reduction in spam would be welcome and it's the most one could actually hope for. You are right that the fact that we can't stop all spam doesn't make stoping some spam useless.
