CAPTCHA BS

CAPTCHA BS

Is the CAPTCHA something new on the site (happens when you're editing a blog post), or is this something that only I am having a problem with? The photos are not clear. Are you supposed to choose any part of a truck or just the front part of a truck? because technically a trailer is not a truck. A moped isn't not a motorcycle. This CAPTCHA platform is shit. Just let me know if this is something I am seeing because of a complication with my browser. If so, I'll vent my bitching to the appropriate party. Thanks!

I don't know anything about your actual question, but i wholeheartedly agree with you. Captcha is total crap. There has to be a better way to get rid of spam. There certainly isn't a worse way.

There's an automated defence system layer to protect the site and you from malicious attacks. It works partly by automatically detecting thousands of suspected patterns, when it detects a slightly higher risk than the norm it asks for a captcha to make sure the user is not a bot before allowing access to the site again.

I have to see why it happens more often when editing blog posts.

Thanks CM. It actually just started a couple of days ago for me. Is this something that was recently added or should I be checking my system for something that may be being detected?
