I've literally seen people do stuff like this several times just with my time us
ing synchronet in the telnet age. there are some crazy people out there.

i've seen it done to myself and other people. there's a guy that has a botnet i
n the milwaukee reddit. if you arent a huge liberal you get burried with a
ton of downvotes if this guy is watching. it LOOKS organic but if you follow tha
t reddit enough you know when people are on and how things look when it's regula
r people. for sure people have figured out how to game reddit in many ways.
so you dont think my challenge idea is good? i think it would help prevent a
lot of this random spam. give them a challenge if they have less than x amount
of logons and posts. it wouldnt be that annoying and after a while it would go
away.
