[Athen] looking for ideas on how to stop smap on a complaint form

[Katherine Deibel]

Oh… yeah. That’s hard. When I coordinated an alt format request service for a library, we had a lot of people requesting despite not being eligible for print accommodation.

I’m not well aware of jerk filtering. Anonymity makes that really hard.
