is there any way to weed out the bots? or do you not think it necessary?
(Not suggesting this over captcha)
All options I can think of without captcha are either unscalable or require you to give up privacy.
My email provider, Runbox, doesn't seem to think fucking captchas are necessary. There isn't a single one in sight anywhere on their pages and services. How come?
Capchas are often hidden, only bothering the user when they're not suspected to be a human. Popularity might also play a role. I've personally never heard of Runbox, maybe they're not big enough to attract bots? Also possible that they're a paid email provider?
