Watchdog.chat vs. CAPTCHAs
With Watchdog, you'll never have to lose a user to an impossible-to-read
CAPTCHA again:
Here's the problem with CAPTCHAs...
CAPTCHAs only prevent simple spambots that can't solve a CAPTCHA from joining
They are so annoying that real humans will often just avoid or fail to fill them out
They don't prevent against human bad actors that are out to ruin your community and they can't handle more advanced bots that break CAPTCHAs
On the other hand...
Watchdog.chat costs a small amount and reCAPTCHA is free up to 10K assessments, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for"
