Ive always wondered...

What does FreeRice.com do to protect against bots? I mean, their answers are links right? So hypothetically, many bots can be randomly clicking links right?

Does anyone have any idea of what they do? (More specifically because I have a site that is doing the same thing and therefore I need some type of security feature)

They may be doing something similar to what PHPBB 3 is doing with search engine bots, which is identify the ip range of the bots and deny them access to the system. Of course its hard to know without looking at the actual source code.

It will have spam protections.
But theres no point in protecting against a charity...
