The captcha seems like a terrible solution when we have someone following Penn Jillette's advice for stage magicians:
You're effectively suggesting we put up a fence (to use Moody's example) in order to show him we disapprove of what he's doing. He already knows that.
Well, at least a captcha would prevent people from using scripts to downvote each other's comments, but I don't think VoiceOfRa is doing that now (though he probably was when going by Eugene Nier). But yes, blocking people altogether from casting too many downvotes would probably make more sense.
