It is like a normal captcha, but hidden from users or labelled with "Don't enter anything". And then when the bot would want to post something, it would fill it (thinking it's a very easy captcha). But then it will be caught in a trap (like a bee) and get terminated or banned from posting. I would prefer making it invisible from users (like hidden somewhere) so it can be read and accessed by the bot.

That sounds interesting, but if it's hidden and a player accidentally types something into it, would they be able to appeal? The Hippie of S&I.

@powdercat Of course, but if the player contacts roblox and shows evidence (of not being bot), he/she will receive the account back. It would be better, if the captcha would be hidden in html (or other) code, so it can be read by the bot.
