Why can't 4chan implement captchas the way eight-chan does?

Why can't 4chan implement captchas the way eight-chan does? You just fill in one captcha and then you can post for 24 hours before you have to solve another.
>>
Because you could just write a bot to fill the daily captcha before spamming the site.
>>
Because we they're our rivals and all of their ideas must be shunned by us.
Honestly though, I have no idea. moot doesn't like innovation I guess.

What does 8ch do that prevents this?
>>
>>352969
Having low membership
>>
>>352966
Nobody on modern 4chan knows how to write bots, anon.
>>
that would make 4chan passes useless
>>
>>352969
They ask for a captcha every certain number of posts.

>>352987
Maybe the staff should start accepting donations, then.

>>352969
Nothing, you can spam it if you want to.
>>
>>352984
Some anon on /co/ recently wrote a bot to vote for mabel in some disney poll and another anon on /v/ wrote another bot to vote for darkwing duck in that same poll.
>>
>>352965
Because thats pointless and wouldn't stop spambots or do you not remember what it was like before captcha
>>
>>352968
Are you fucking stupid? Do you have any idea how bad the spam was?
>>

Fuck off twitterkid.

>>352969
Nothing?

Any time I have been on 8ch, all I have seen is shit-spams everywhere.

8ch has a considerably higher spam problem than we have with that captcha system in place.

There is a reason the new beta version has it for every post and why everyone is crying and bitching about it on /b/ and /operate/


CAPTCHA should never ever be removed again.
The spambots could literally clear all the fastest boards posts in a minute.
And that was a smaller operation. There were ones that did it multiple boards.
There was even that one time where the whole of /v/ was child porn spams. The full catalog was CP. It was crazy. (that was during the time someone figured out the audio CAPTCHA glitch, accel I am sure it was that abused it)

8nahc has 5000000 boards, only a few are targets for spambots
Here every board would be a target

I like this idea, though it may need to be curbed back a bit.

How about you fill the captcha once, and you can then make 5 posts? Or 10 posts? And then you have to fill another.
