Image verification. Really?

15 replies
I was going to reply to a post and received a captcha... The quick reply box is now gone too.

To create this thread I had to use a captcha also.

I know spam has increased since the new owners but a captcha isn't the solution...

    Yeah this is a real doozie. Takes a few seconds longer to get your reply up.

    hopefully this is just a test and trial to see how it fights against spam and doesnt last for too long.

      This is actually very annoying. I hate captchas and having required to enter them every time I make a post is even worse. I've seen more captchas here today than I have for the last 1 month. To add salt to injury, these captchas can easily be misread.

      It also disrupts the flow of thought people have when they formulate a reply to a thread or post. To (attempt) disrupt spammers at the expense of every member on the forum is not a good idea.

      If it was for new accounts or non-war room members I could see a random CAPTCHA but not everyone. Everytime. :rolleyes:

      They should re-enable the old spam features and not make members (at least war room members) not wait so long between spam reports.

      Seriously, annoying... but what can I do I'm just a member of this forum? :/
      I really do hope that this is just a phase.

      I wonder it now too, maybe it's part of the improvement plan.
      On my side, it's okay for me, does not take a minute difference at all..for others, this will test your patience


      Regards,

        Garrie, we posted about this just about at the same time

        Oddly enough, this time it didn't require me to fill in a captcha! Now that I have finally gotten pretty good at them...

        No, I'm not complaining! I hope these captchas will be just a test, and I agree that there should be some sort of feature that allows War Room members to post with maybe just ONE captcha a day interfering (at most).

          Me either. Maybe it was a test - that failed.

        I don't like it myself but if it helps the forum I'm all for it.

        Surprise, it seems to be gone for now

    We've removed that captcha now, hopefully the spam will have stopped.

    Thanks

    Funny, I do not see one. Maybe that is for member that are brand new. Also, I do not mind typing one in. Perhaps that can stop all the spam. Like we sure HOPE so.
