Captcha when comments posted at alarming speeds

I'm thinking like after five messages are posted in five seconds there should be a captcha because spam bots are a huge problem right now and someone who is getting spammed a lot even with profile comments closed has to deal with all that spam and it's not fair.

I would see this as useful for many popular Scratchers but would the captchas have a math problem like 2+5? Or a simple puzzle of some sorts?

I just hope that the Captcha test isn't the annoying endless one about “Click all the traffic lights”.

The checkbox one isn't very good either since a robot could be programmed to tick it.

NO SUPPORT! It would just rage a scratcher that seriously makes comments but fast until the end of days with this traffic lights thingy.

So I was thinking like a ReCaptcha or hCaptcha because those are like “click all the crosswalks”

That would be good, they take enough time to stop flooding everyone's messages

Yeah, sure, a robot could be programmed to click it, but how could a bot identify all the boats in the image? They're made for preventing robots, hence the “I'm Not A Robot” title.

And since spammers are using bots then the spammer would actually have to go on and solve the captcha themselves otherwise their robot won't keep going and that would be time-consuming and annoying to them.

Translation for the roblox captchas:
Rotate this image using the arrows until it is facing 90 degrees to the right, which will never happen because it's stuck at 85 degrees or 95 degrees.
Or
Finally getting it but the bot responds"You took too long. Try again!"and you won't get it next time
No need to thank me. Anyway, it should show you 3 studio images and their name below, asking you which one(s) you're following. The bot spamming comments won't know that, unless it's advanced.

I also don't like the bulging text where you have to type all the letters you see. Another statement, roblox once made a captcha themself, and you had to check every game you played last week. We could have something like that. Also, some bots could have a calculator, so I don't think math is a good idea.
