Asher hit the nail. However can also be done using images for displaying the MSN handles. No current harvesters can read images.

Problem solved.

As long as nobody takes the time to create a login to 'poly for their spam harvester ...

(Okay, this probably won't happen. I just thought it was a funny idea.)

Then add a Turing test to the registration process.

Now I get that image verification stuff!
Damn bots, I feel like we're fighting a war against Skynet or The Matrix.

I would hope that the owners err on the side of security on this issue. I prefer to use MSN Messenger, but if it poses a security challenge then forget it.

It's not quite SKynet or Matrix because humans are controlling these bots. But I like the analogy anyway.

So do bots

[Rasbelin]

Having MSN support doesn't cause any security concerns what so ever, Shogun Gunner. Nada. None.

Me too. I sometimes have problems registering on such places, because the letters and numbers on the picture sometimes is nearly totally unreadable...

Awaits the accusations...
