Boards that enable `BBS_ACORN=1` even now already have a strong tool against vandalism and scripting.
The "game" portion can be played or not. It does not require active participation.
"Donguri" is going to give us many new ways to beat bots in an effective and user-friendly manner.
For instance:
1. It creates a reputation system.
- The reputation system beats bots by allowing users to recognize when new accounts are posting.
- The reputation system will allow HUNTERs to destroy ARASHI accounts with weapons [coming soon].
2. It allows us to defend against instant acceleration.
- When a thread (or board) becomes accelerated too fast, we can slow down new replies from users with a low reputation score.
3. Cookie farming will not be cost effective.
- Creating a bunch of cookies and maintaining them will be difficult and expensive for bot farms.
- It is easy for normal posters to maintain their cookies - in fact they dont need to do anything different at all.
