They prove that someone solved a problem. If your captchas are good, that means they are more likely to be human. I work from an assumption that captchas are marginally effective at best. If you think I am mistaken in that, please explain why. From that assumption, I conclude that we need a system that is reasonably effective against a spammer who can solve significant numbers of captchas, but still is capable of making use of the information that solving a captcha does provide.

emoving Carol from his trust list. Under no circumstances will Alice using Bob's trust list result in fewer people being accepted than not using Bob's trust list. It does mean that Bob, as a member of the evil cabal of default trust list members for newbies, can (with the unanimous help of the cabal) censor identities in a more subtle fashion than simply not trusting anyone. The caveats: this is a big enough change that it needs a close re-examination of the security proof (I'm pretty sure it's still valid, but I'm not certain). If it sounds like an interesting idea, I can do that. Also, I don't think it's compatible with Ford-Fulkerson or the other simple flow capacity algorithms.

Having a well-connected graph is useful, regardless of the algorithm. If the reason the person trusted a spammer was that they made an honest mistake (or got scammed by a bait-and-switch, or...) then you may want to continue using their trust list but inform them of the problem. If they don't want to fix the problem, you probably don't want to continue using their trust list. Evan Daniel

(Or perhaps we need more than one level of it.) You don't want a spammer to be able to get manual trust by posting a message to the test board consisting only of "Hi, can anyone see this?" -- they can do that automatically. I think there should be a pair of buttons, "mark spammer" and "mark non-spammer." Evan Daniel

r statement is trivially true (assuming we ignore some fairly potent techniques like bayesian classifiers that rely on neither additional work by the user or reliance on the opinions of others...), it misses the real point: the fact that WoT spreads the work around does not mean it does so efficiently or effectively, or that the choices it makes wrt various design tradeoffs are actually the choices that we, as its users, would make if we considered those choices carefully. A web of trust is a complex system, the entire purpose of which is to create useful emergent behaviors. Too much focus on the micro-level behavior of the parts of such a system, instead of the emergent properties of the system as a whole, means that you won't get the emergent properties you wanted.
