took my time and read through all these posts (and responses) to the captcha theory. Really don't think it's cleaning the kitchen.
There aren't that many bakers anymore. rgb, wnb, pastriot, and a few night/ graveyard bakers. they all seem legit and committed. i would think that if comped, it would have been pretty easy to spot the shill(s) in the kitchen already.
i am intrigued for sure. We have all noticed that the level of shilling has increased a lot.
especially when we laugh at those 50+ post shills. I think that is the reason. keep the board manageable and implement a stop gap measure prior to investing in more $resources$.
still keeping an open mind as to the captcha incorporation. the way things are proceeding, I imagine we are going to find out why sooner rather than later.
