I'll tell you a short story. My colleague was asked to make a website with a forum for part of the company we work at. I made a list things he needed to do in order not to have too many problems. One thing was using a decent captcha at the login, he ran out of time and didn't use one. After 1 month in the forum section there were 17,000 fake accounts posting stuff about v14gr4, russian women eager to meet the love of their lives, ink cartridges, ray bans, rolex watches and so on. That's 17,000 accounts, not posts, I was too scared to find out how many actual posts there were. Had to tell him to delete the forum before it was even launched if there wasn't time to do it properly. That's why captchas exist. It's like the wild west on speed out there on the internet :) P.S. I don't like them either.

I do not dispute the Captcha.

I dispute the fact that they are very poorly conceived and most of the time requires several tests before validating your entry.

yes, I agree with you.

The people who create monsters like that should receive financial fines.

And perhaps even a few days in prison to trigger moral damages.

You have very strong feelings about them :)

If you don't mind me saying, I think prison might be a slightly excessive punishment for creating captchas :D

The prison is the ideal place to think at the idea of a captchas which does not poison the lives of people. :p

These continues captchas are a creation of perversel and dangerous spirits. :)

Oh those poor people :D They are just trying to keep our havens on the internet free from the bots and spammers. They should be celebrated as our guardians and protectors. It's like imprisoning staff from a lock company because you need to use a key to open your front door. :)

No clemency can be envisaged.

The judgment must be validated and applied to the culprits.

:p

Surely, the "Slider" version works well enough? I shouldn't need to click on 15000 images of bikes, where I have to guess whether or not the 9 pixels of tyre should be classed as part of the bike or not?
