My dynamic database page is filled with an array of hyperlinks.
The layout consists of 3 columns: The first column pulls links directly from the database, the second adds a + link to each entry, and the third includes a - link
Essentially, every row that is generated contains a URL link, a + link, and a - link.
- Clicking on a link directs the user to the relevant page
- If a user clicks the + next to any row, the database is updated to show that the user likes that specific link
- By clicking the - next to a row, the database indicates that the user does not like that particular link
How can I redesign this page to prevent web bots from mimicking clicks? Specifically, how should I modify the behavior of the + and - links to deter bot activity?
