Title: Those stupid number letter authorization codes!
Post by: RABicle on April 14, 2009, 12:05:18 AM
I hate them. You know when you go to sign up to troll a message board and get confronted with one of those so called anti spam random letter generators. And you gotta type the letters you see. I've had some really bad ones, like where the 9 is rotated so much it looks like a 6 or where, due to my colourblindness I CANNOT MAKE ANY OF THE LETTERS OUT but this one I came across the otehr week just reached a whole new level of stupid.

i hate these things too because sometimes i think i fill them out correctly and i don't. These things dont defeat robots either, i booted up yahoo instant messenger after years of dissuse and i found out that now chatrooms have these things. I was like aw cool now maybe i can go into a chatroom and not get confronted with 1000 porno bots and actually talk to a real person. No i still got attacked by bots and reported them all.

Systems that ask a simple question are generally much better at stopping bots. "What animal is man's best friend?"

That's easy, it's a cow, but yeah, I hate those codes, too.  They always take me at least 2 tries.

its obvious that this message board in particular clearly doesn't want you joining their community.

Two criteria for the last piece:

It has to be different from any of those on the board already
&
It has to be pointing down

I know some places that have audio versioons to go with the image. Those ones are worse coz its like FKLWEJKFLWJLFGEJQOIOEOIUGLGJLJLJLK ONE DSJFLKSDJFKLASLDLJKFLJFE4R7U Q DSFLKFJLASDJFKLDJLJFLKJRELJLKJLK and how on earth are you supposed to work it out amongst all the other nonsense?

It makes me so moist with frustration each time i see them.

No, Going top down the number of line increase while turning 90°, same with going right to left so it's E

(going diagonally from top left to bottom right all have the same number and orientation of the lines too...)
