@ZippyWonderdust @leah If they choose to ignore robots.txt, what makes you think they’ll care any more about a pinkie promise about not being a bot?

@teotwaki @leah It’s not the pinkie promise; it’s the captcha before it.

@ZippyWonderdust @leah Bots have a higher accuracy solving captchas than humans.

Captchas are effectively a great way to ensure the only people you’re locking out are _actual people_.

@leah @teotwaki Which, on second thought, leads me to revise my prediction to say that I see a dramatic increase in the deployment of non-signup captchas.
