... are they a problem for the ODP?

IE - scripts and/or programs that "browse" through the ODP and automatically submit sites to several categories?

If so:

Wouldn't image verification on the submission page help?

If they were a problem, and if the effectiveness of such a technique out-weighed any side effects and implementation effort, then we'd almost certainly already be considering it...

Gotcha...

I only brought it up because I was considering implementing just such a precaution on my own site.

I'm presently weighing the pros and cons...

Cheers
