Here's a VERY SIMPLE solution to stop botting, or most of botting. Make it to where you can only have over 10 characters to post. This will greatly decresae spam as well. Like why hasn't this been added yet? Wtf

A CAPTCHA would be a much better system than this.

CAPTCHAs are only for new accounts which is just stupid

...Have you looked at the bots? A good amount of them are accounts that were made IN TWO SECONDS. Of course CAPTCHAs would work well, only the most persistent bots would be able to get past it.

Oh, did I forget to mention that half of the bots have usernames that seem to be typed with someone's forehead smashing against their keyboard?

I guess I wasn't clear enough, sorry. I meant botting on the forums, it takes 2 weeks for a new bot account to make a post so.
