We already have them for account creation, so why not PMs and comments?

Seriously, comments have been infested with bots for a few years, and just now a new PM bot has been made to PM anyone who visits a specific game (usually front page ones).

So why not add captchas to both?

i think a anti-spam measures are important but capatcha certainly isn't one of them.

not very often but i used too

capatcha is just tiring especially as they can be hard to read

i say have some sort of check for replicated messages, or perhaps a similarity in messages sent (ie both message receivers played this game and the message is of similar content) therefor trigger anti-spam.

something like that which could be a trial and error project for a while.

If some are hard to read, just keep pressing that refresh-looking arrow on the button until you find one suitable for you to read

that is time consuming and pointless when developers (if prepared to put effort in) could devise a much simpler system

@oddbod610
What device could that be?
If I was a game dev I'd rather have time consumed than having to read endless spam comments about getting free robux or 'come to my game'

great banter lad

i can agree with you actually, some kind of anti spam measure would also work, although people can bypass
