Don't paste Steam Keys in Plain Text, don't use the blurry filter to stop bots, use tricky equations like *=T or reverse some characters and leave a hint to solve it.
Picture derived from links are even better...I doubt many programmers would bother programming OCR for a forum scraping bot.
I take that back, evidently someone made that simple as hell these days too.
Good for the bots, bad for the future of programming...nobody has to learn anything anymore...its an automated source chop shop
Still, its probably a more reliable method in general...if you think they haven't started reading the phrase "reverse the last letter" with how often its been used, I hate to say your probably wrong.
They likely watch as a real user to incorporate any of the latest tricks into the bot, emoji are read as plain text such as :ninja: when you read the HTML itself, so those are pretty useless and actually even easier (the colon is an easily recognizable search character) to look for one of the maybe 200 emoji gala can show.
Actually a good method would be to use a colon and some [ ] whenever possible to throw them off so they look for code, it complicates things at least
Best trick, never use the same trick twice, switch it up as often as possible...make them create so many possible ways to read the key it actually stumps itself
