No captcha?

Hello,
I am learning programming and just discovered this website. But I am curious, how does it protect its users from spammers (people who post illegal or annoying things) without a reCaptcha? I thought clicking this blue box is required to prove that you are not a robot, can you please share any javascript that you use for this purpose?
Thank you and have a nice day,
Brian

Hi Brian!

Welcome to /prog/. Unfortunately, this board has little protection, so spammers can pretty much do whatever they want. The server side software has a crude rate-limiter, which prevents the same IP address from posting multiple times within a few seconds of each other. But it's easily defeated, and the community has suffered as a result -- you can probably tell.

As someone learning programming, you could probably write a better board yourself! *grins*

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again!

Regards,
