R0CKY Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Look at the security code I had to try and read to sign up here ???Is it just me, or is that 1st character nothing like an "r", and how about that lower case "t" [img]http://www.ghostrecon.net/images-forums/capcha.jpg[/img]rEtgpDang spammers making us decent folks jump through hoops :P Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32769-these-forums-capcha/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I think it might be better for them to have normal font (or more normal font) but you have to type it in backwards. I agree that that captcha is hard to read (yes, I know you can request a new image.. but they are all pretty hard to read)Example:code: KingPhilipyou type in: pilihPginK (looks weird :P) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32769-these-forums-capcha/#findComment-152561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I had a similar problem signing up. The request another image did not work and I ended up listening to it.At least you should only need to sign up once and you should never need to see such a poorly designed image a second time.

R0CKY Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I had the exact same experince actually - could not get a second image, and ended up listening to the sound version. Although it did not work either, and I had to use the secondary "download" link.

Mutley Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Would be easier if it was an animated GIF that had easier to read font but glows from side to side, like a spot light. :)That would kill those bots for sure and make it easy for new members.

JayBachatero Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The capcha has been enhanced in 1.1.x In RC3 they were really hard to read. Now they should be easier on the eye but hard on bots.

Ninjakreborn Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I would guess that email validation (Verifying user's email address) removes the need for a captcha, as a bot can't validate an email as well, and everything can it.

neylitalo Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Sure they can - it could even be done in PHP. It would just watch the inbox, and when the verification message arrives, it makes a curl request to the URL specified in the email, or responds to the email, or whatever.
