Bots have become a massive problem for Roblox, but the only measures being taken right now are restrictions on other, rule-abiding players. The addition of ReCaptcha to various areas where bots are shady would greatly cull the rising tide of bot accounts and make them easier to get rid of in ban waves. With this, perhaps some of the mentioned restrictions can be made less strict as well like links being censored.

This is getting a little out of hand. That many recaptchas everywhere would probably be more of a bother than the bots. Next thing you know we're in North Korea.

As already explained in CloneTrooper's post, Captchas are easily cracked with the right programs and sometimes even outsourcing the task of solving captchas to people in 3rd world countries who are willing to do it in exchange for a small salary.

"even outsourcing the task of solving captchas to people in 3rd world countries who are willing to do it in exchange for a small salary" "outsourcing" "3rd world countries" "small salary" You mean they have sweat shops for cyber attacks :O? Lol even though that's wildly unethical, the thought of someone doing that for a KIDS' GAME where there's little to nothing in it for them is so petty it's hilarious XD
