is comment spam
Well spotted. We try to protect users from:
- comment spam (or just spam)
- people running wget in a loop (to protect resources)
- search engine bots (if user wants to)
- other, not search related, automated bots (if user wants to)
- proper L7 attacks, resource exhaustion - network
- proper L7 attacks, resource exhaustion - server CPU
Captchas work across the board and are one of the most important
strategies. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's what the industry uses.
