[OSM-talk] Still need for spam protection and if yes, what about OSM-based CATPCHA?

[Philip Barnes]

CATPCHAs are pure evil, I would like to see their use made a criminal
offence as I am sure that they contravene the Disability Discrimination
Act.  When faced with the things I tend to go somewhere else, they use
such hard to read characters and always take several attempts.

If reporting an error with OSM required a catpcha then I suspect many
just would not bother and we would all be worse off.

And as Tom says I do not see any evidence of automated spam in OSM.
