Hey, List Owners With Captcha, Give Webmasters A Break

Captchas are necessary today if want to protect your site from viagra spammers and such. It's not very fun to wake up in the morning and see hundreds of spam submits. I do agree they are annoying and I've tried other things like banning spammer ips in htaccess but it didn't work at all. The only effective method I know is using captchas.

I really don't have a problem with them at all, but if more could use the one like hoes.com does, it would be a lot easier.

Like Jim said, if you can't read that one, then you need better glasses

Point made, I think. I had a look around those I was having most difficulties with and they are all now readable, so peeps read here. Thanks for a great board, GG&J!

There is nothing inherently wrong with captchas. Hoes is so easy to use I hadn't even registered it as one, which illustrates the point I've been making. If anyone's going to attract the crap as well as the submissions, it's going to be them and a few others. So if a readable one works for them, why were the smaller guys hiding access from the peeps they want to let in?

Anyway, it seems people have been taking note. I just slapped four submissions of (I hope) good sites on one I couldn't even read last week - I had it down as a "don't even bother any more".
