There seem to be a lot over on the main board today. One is even suggesting that actors are robots. But really, I think they are the robot.

Between the trolls and and bots and the ever-apparent stupidity of some of the regular posters, this board ain't what it used to be.

Some solutions -
1. A block feature (god, this would be so nice)
2. New posters have to wait a week before posting
I'm sure there are others.

Marianne, there's a difference between bots and trolls. The posters today on the Broadway board are trolls.
Bots post links to dubious websites, typically in either nonsensical or overly calculated posts. They're done by computer programs.
Trolls are jerks who like to rile people up. They're human. But jerks.
And then there are posters who seem to be both. I think they're a government project gone awry.

I hope this won't eventually necessitate the dreaded captcha.

That won't help with the trolls.

For real. morosco mentioning captcha makes me laugh, because I was just struggling with one earlier today. I mean, sometimes there will be four letters on top of an another and you can't tell what the hell you're supposed to type.
