Thanks man: I posted anonymously for non-obvious reasons. Truth be told that was my first comment on/. and I was ignorant of the implications of posting as 'Anonymous Cringer'.
Since you thought it was funny I'll repost the AC comment (sorry in advance if that's against the rules) --
He-man, for a meat-head you bring up a good point. The sweatshops are a real problem; however, there is a defense against them.
Consider this: the folks working there generally can't read English. Yet they're cracking CAPTCHAs on sites designed for English-literate visitors!
Why not use a CAPTCHA that requires English literacy to solve? Maybe show a picture of Battle Cat and ask them to select a matching English phrase, such as "ferocious feline" or "green puss" from a list containing other non-matching phrases. But wait, such a CAPTCHA exists, it's available for free for immediate install on a php website, and there's a live demo at peoplesign.com!
Yes He-man, with peoplesign you DO have the power to stop spam-baron Skeletor's sweatshop armies! Note that peoplesign also works great against Skeletor's conventional spamming threats such as hover robots and spiderdroids.
