Rise of the Spam Mechs

I found over 2,000 fake spam accounts on theO, created by machines to try and post nefarious links across the site.

I really dislike CAPTCHAs, those images with blurry, hard-to-read text that verify if people are human, but we can't have these accounts swarming the site and causing trouble.

Hm...what to do...
