How much do you hate the CAPTCHA for 1st post after login?

Lucky for me I got my degree in accounting.

Yep, some bots probably will be able to figure out the math CAPTCHA. In fact with complex OCR, they can even figure out the wavy letters CAPTCHAs. But oh well, it will keep some of them away.

I have no problem with it at all. Thanks for all the work you've put in trying to deter the spammers. I'm sure it will pay off and is very much appreciated by the member here.

Had you gone with Goggle's wavy letter crap instead of math questions I might have a different answer for you. I have the worse time making out that letter nonsense.

I'm cool with it since that was one of my suggestions

Would they also be able to use a bot for a CAPTCHA that uses a question format (yes, like CPF)? That seems a little more complicated but it would be easy answer for anyone actually reading it.

THANK YOU for not using the wavy letter crap Craigslist uses. I have to refresh that so many times to find something I can actually decipher.

There are other types that require some human intelligence, such as "Which doesn't belong? - Apple, Pear, Stove, Banana". I might take a look at those too.

Boo…don’t go with that. I’d have a 50/50 chance of getting it right since stove or banana belong with the apple & pear unless it’s in a salad. My instinct says “stove” but my brain tells me “banana” since bananas aren’t fruit but actually an herb.

C'mon now.. you're only making it more difficult for yourself. The banana is botanically both a fruit and an herb haha

And don't even get started with classifying tomatoes!

I have no problem with it. Hopefully it will cut down on these creeps posting here

But please remember to mention Bananas in your comment below.

This seems nicely implemented to me; like others have said, the simple math question is a lot better than the unreadable 'enter the words' types of captchas. I hope this helps keep the Spammerz out...

"Make the spammers rue the day they thought they could give BLFers spam! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's going to burn your house down! With the spam! I'm going to get my engineers to invent combustible spam that will burn your house down!"

It's cheaper than hiring a team of mercenaries to go visit the spammers in person.

No problem here.

I cant vote in that poll before I have entered captcha and posted something :P

Other than that, Im fine with it ;)!

nope - post an address

I don't mind it at all.

Kind of reminds me of the age verification system in the original Leisure Suit Larry video game. Well, now I feel old. :D

I'm good... seems things are back to normal and kudos for not using the satanic one you can't read!

I hope this works. The inconveniencs is minimal.

I'm fine with simple math captcha. Perhaps even increase it to 1/hour if it helps prevent spam.
