Capatcha

[Double A]

I just had to type that to post this thread. I'm sure many of you reading this had to type some similar gibberish to reply to another thread earlier today. Now, I have nothing against spam-protection, but isn't it a little odd that people who have high post counts and have been registered for months, even years, get a spambot check every once in a while? If it's not too inconvenient, I believe a system should be set up where, once a user reaches a certain post count and, say, two weeks registration time, they should no longer have to suffer having to type indecipherable nonsense.

I don't really like it, but then again, it doesn't bother me much. I'd like to not have it any more though. I agree with your "post count" idea.

Coincidentally, I had to use the Captcha in order to post this reply.

Meh. It's easier to inconvenience everybody than specialize to the individual.

I had to do it just to post here and it makes me do it way to often -.-

Right, I'm not saying we should have no spam protection, there just has to be a better way with less complaining.

I was wondering when someone was going to post something like this.
I don't get why they have to make them so hard to read.

 

[Mimssy]

I only get annoyed when I can't read the damn things.

if it helps cut down on spam on message boards, I'm all for anything like that.
it takes 5 extra seconds to post.

I've been lucky to get easy ones most of the time. But the first time I had to type a radical sign followed by a fucking lowecase gamma I began having issues with it.

Take out the weird characters and everything will be OK. Keep it to letters and numbers please.

EDIT: By the way, I can type all kinds of symbols with ease. Watch?

It's the principle that bothers me.

My main problem is that the captcha itself is a poorly made piece of crap. It should stick to ONE language. I should not have to answer in Chinese characters, or Sanskrit, or have to go look up how to type a Mu or an Umlaut. (not joking for any of that.)

I agree with the OP's idea. If we can't do that, can we at least switch to a different brand of captcha? This one is consistently terrible.

Edit: Forgot about this..

Not for those who have bad eyesight or continually get the impossible-to-read or foreign Capatchas.

 

[PayneTrayne]

If it has a foreign lettering you can simply type Lololol and it'll go on through. So take the umlauts!

that's what the refresh button is for when you can't read it, and the audio button for when you can't see it.
I don't know, maybe there are some weird foreign ones I haven't seen, I mostly just deal with googles.

I can't believe people are complaining that Capatcha is unreadable. Seriously, how can you not decipher this?

Elpsheir finish-line. Not that difficult.

I'm just waiting for the captcha to give a middle finger.
