I wonder how you prevent bots from creating millions of fake users. I guess by looking at the headers for their user agent and have a blacklist of known bots?


it's the same problem as allowing users to create millions of identities. if it gets to be a problem, you can just start removing unclaimed identities from oldest to newest.
