Spambot Detection Idea!

Dear Tumblr Staff. Here’s an idea to help you detect if a user is in fact a spambot. Check how many “likes” they have by going to tumblr.com/liked/by/TheUser.  Refresh that page a few times.  If the user is liking 20 posts a second (see pictures above), then it’s unlikely that they are a human being and are in fact a loathsome spambot. 

Yours Truly,

Antiquark!

Great idea!
