Hey, List Owners With Captcha, Give Webmasters A Break

[tigermom]

Whew, so I'm not the only one having difficulties with reading the captchas? My husband is actually getting me a new monitor today, cause some of the verification systems there are way too hard on my old eyes. If the LL doesn't send a lot of traffic and makes life hard for me, I'll stop submitting to it. I respect the LL owner's right to use any measures he or she wants to on their site, so I just weigh the pros and cons for me and make my own decision.

I'm not sure if anyone's having trouble reading mine or not. I can see it just fine. I tried several different ways to combat spam, and the captcha was the best solution for me. At one point I was getting over 700 submissions a day. Imagine trying to pick through all that and cull out the good stuff. Impossible. Partner accounts don't work. Email verification doesn't work. The autosubmitters have support for both.

If anyone is having problems reading my captcha, please let me know. I recall seeing something about being able to adjust the contrast on the image but couldn't find it right off hand. If it's a problem, I'll research it further.

Yours look fine to me, i refreshed the page a few times and read them off straight away.

I have not had a single problem with Free Sex Pics, other than when I forget to do the damned thing on my way in! There is sufficient contrast to read it easily.

I am not against taking measures to ensure it is a human being submitting, even that it is a registered/qualified/recognised or whatever human being. I am simply not a masochist and will not submit to any more lists whose owners insist I must suffer pain.

Exactly! I know some of you have complained to me about not being able to read the captcha on Click 4Sex Fun. Sorry about that but it's the most effective for my list as far as combating autosubmits. I'd use captcha on Sexy Smut Links if I could but that script doesn't support it. If I could control the level of difficulty as far as the background/text/words/letters, I would but can't. Again, sorry to anyone that can't read it but if it's that much of a problem for you, just go ahead and move on to another list.

Yours are legible, ladydesigner. No problem. You have to see the ones I'm moaning about to see why I'm moaning. They really are indiscernible.

I'm getting the hang of your title needs too. I think. |badidea|
