basic html, some frames (remember these?) a few pics, exact match domain name, add content and build some backlinks... rinse and repeat ready for google adsense in 2003 for your $100k a day profit.. back when it was really easy to make bank online.
Takes me about 10 mins per post to find a captcha that I can actually see. Half the time the slider doesn't show up. At least they have tweaked it slightly now that it remembers your post, at first you had to copy everything and open a new reply window if you failed the captcha.
I used 4chan a lot (pol occasionally, x a lot, o a lot) because I like relatively freedom of speech and now I use it like 10% what I did before because the captcha fails so much.
Ironically the blatent bots have already circumvented it.
Instead you want a showy FB ad that takes them to a landing page that looks like your website (native) to build trust, maybe have them answer some questions to get qualified etc. There's numerous ways to filter out "bad traffic".
Depends what you care about more, revenue or a more humanitarian customer experience.
There's plugins like "Miserable User" available to get rid of members without offense / them knowing (unless they are intelligent).
Or you could just...ask them to be less grumpy?
"One is a hard worker and adds so much value to a different part of the site that it is difficult to envision asking them to leave." Agreed. putting up with that might be the duality involved.
I think if you have a better customer experience revenue will figure itself out. Asking two people to leave will definitely cause issues. And the production of the one may not be replaceable. I was told by one of the complainers that "others will pick up the slack" except no one does. The opportunity is there. No one comes close.
What did you think of the Stuxnet code from your perspective? Was it clear who made it from the start, and what it's purpose was? (Iran or China vs India?). Thanks.
I based my decision on liking mountains and the sea, so I live near mountains and the sea. I prefer solitude, I have no friends by choice, and I work online. In my time off I either go to the beach (in the summer) or I go hike mountains.
