I made the same comment about setting your neighbor's house on fire to teach them how to put out fires. One's man's waste of time is another man's hobby, I guess.

Great minds think alike, ha. Completely agree with your analogy.

Could be a hobby by one deranged individual, but it also might be a group that is paid to attack many forums. Either way our response is the same, so it doesn't really matter I guess. I would just think a lone nutter would eventually get bored or move on to something else after years of failure...

They gain IP address info from us every time we click that human box, somewhat valuable to them. Project honey pot.

Better than letting the forum be destroyed by bad actors. Nothing is perfect, and saidit is no exception.
