in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?

    Randomly generating names is trivial to implement. I don’t think that Reddit suggesting a name itself really saves the spammers much work.

      You’re not wrong. But ithat’s why I said 6 of 1. Neither option really discourages bots or recognizing bots, but I do take space in the fact that one creates a slight inconvenience, even if it just means 1 less account every week because another bot already took that randomly generated string of letters and numbers.
