This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's probably both if we're being honest. A lot of services definitely don't want bots. But they also want to take as much of your personal info as possible.

I'm of the belief that Google themselves runs (or more likely subcontracts) many of the bots that target websites not running captcha.

They don't want bots because they can't steal Personal Info from a bot
