Thanks for doing that, ProYorp
The stickied Discord Thread in Other Keen Stuff is very cryptic and requires multiple clicks and a scroll to find the secret entrance. :P

So like, is the PCKF Discord supposed to be like a hidden back alleyway? That's the impression it initially gave to me but I'm not sure that's the case. If it's not, there should probably be a non-cryptic invite link in the official thread now. Is there a reason we're hiding it?

My idea was to give it a "captcha" effect. So far, so good! No bots. It's a strictly human place :robo_red
But then I can't possibly know if hiding the invite inside a thread-within-a-thread helps with bot keepouts at all. :helmet
Despite the current invite situation there are 144 almost-unique accounts on the server at this time. :british

I have no idea. If the link is on the internet at all that's enough for some bots to find it isn't it? At least that's the rule I've heard with email addresses.

All I know is it's unintuitive enough to keep some humans out. :p

I honestly haven't seen that many discord bot accounts on public servers in general, but ymmv since it could be up to a number of factors

here's a solution for all your recaptcha-spam-bot-web-crawler issues. Let's delete all hyperlinks and use an image like this one instead:

Sounds like a good idea, I vote for adding the image link to the main official forum thread. Even if it needs to be manually typed out it'd be easier for people to get in.

Also note that if you Google "pckf" this Discord thread is the first to come up. I guess that's the one with the link though? So not very hidden from bots at all.
