Because what they do is jump around and route through who knows how many different random servers.


I know the difficulties of tracking them so going through that process is useless IMO. I am asking why not stop them when they are active participating as a user on the site? As far as I know bots do not react to a specific input requirement so a random pop up that requires human action should expose them.

I was just messing around and don’t have any real knowledge on the subject. But it sounds like you have some. There’s got to be some hitch that just can’t be gotten around because one would think they’d have been eager to address the issue. But then again, they possibly have some sort of incentive or justification to leave it be. Some nefarious reason. It’s hard to write off that possibility these days.
