Cheaters Not Welcome at Fiskie Awards

• Views: 1,487

That little cheating script posted by a Daily Kos Kid (and never disavowed or deleted by Kos himself) has stirred up a storm in the blogosphere; check out the trackbacks for this entry by Captain Ed to see how many blogs have posted about it: Daily Kos Endorses Massive Cheating.

To prevent this kind of abuse by Kos Kidz and similar fools in the upcoming Idiotarian of the Year polling, I have a couple of possible options:

1) Use something called (in programmers’ jargon) a “captcha,” which stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.” This means that before your vote is entered you’ll be asked to type in a sequence of characters, displayed in distorted fonts that humans can easily read, but computer scripts can’t decipher.

2) Allow only registered LGF lizardoids to vote in the poll.
