What prevents spam or flooding? | |

It looks like this interface is easy to write a spam bot for. | |
What can be done to prevent this from happening? It would be a shame | |
if stormfags started flooding everything. They are absolute cancer. | |

It does have a basic cooldown mechanism for posts from the same | |
IP. Worst comes to worst, a captcha-like system would be possible. | |

Not OP, but how would a CAPTCHA be implemented on Gopher? | |

@723 You'd be directed to a menu with a question and a "search" | |
item to enter the answer. If the answer is correct, your IP gets | |
whitelisted to post for X amount of time. I think text-based | |
questions would be preferred, | |

but the typical generated images/audio samples would be possible | |
too if random math problems/trivia are too easily solved by bots. | |

A demo | |

This is very cool. Thanks! | |
