Title: Some CAPTCHAs just suck
Post by: simplemechanic on June 09, 2013, 05:25 pm
I hate when you get an ambiguous CAPTCHA. Like trying to determine between an A and a 4 when there's a line through the bottom half of it. Just ranting is all, I know their use and brilliant development.

even the CAPTCHA around here are trying to conceal their true identity.

Yeah the one to log into SR is about as good as it gets though.  The forum ones are a little more tricky, but on other sites I've had a much harder time.  At least the letters are all the same size and font.  Those ones that use cursive lettering with all different sizes are the ones that really drive me nuts.  I'd say I get the SR forum CAPTCHA right about 9 times out of 10.

I'm surprised nobody caught on to my blunder. 4 can't be in the CAPTCHA because they are all letters. However, R and K suck.

The worst I've ever seen is one where they made you watch 10 seconds of a commercial and then type "Dawn cleans 2x better than the bargain brain"

Fuck that, even though I admittedly do use Dawn.

Also don't like it when you get the three character ones...those confused me at first

I and J can suck, as well as B and O. I'm starting to think that it's the alphabet that sucks, not CAPTCHAs. Maybe we should all start learning mandarin.

some websites use the sound option, when i try to use it then the sound is like a female robocop on crack. Damn!
