Re: Re: A couple of ideas for dealing with votebots

The discussion started off when merlyn mentioned that his WebTechniques column for December (http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col68.listing.txt) dealt with bots in that way.

Hmm. Thats interesting, cause Im pretty sure merlyn wasnt online when I started it off. My original idea was something along the same lines of a zero knowledge proof or a turing test. Neverthesless, if he implemented that idea as well then all the power to him. As my memory kicks in I recall that virtualsue and maybe footpad was online so maybe they remember who was around... Or maybe not, either way it doesnt matter. Anyway, :-) Yves -- You are not ready to use symrefs unless you already know why they are bad. -- tadmc (CLPM)	[reply]
