Hey, List Owners With Captcha, Give Webmasters A Break

I wouldn't say it's bullet proof, thats my question, if they can read images, could they read text? Seems they would have to have some intelligence though. Only time will tell.

I don't know about being easy to put in place. It was easy for me as it is my own script, so I know the code and how it works. Might not be as easy for other scripts. Might be a good suggestion for script owners to give the creators.

Seems captcha "was" a solution.

Maybe they can. I'm not sure but you have a pm with a link. See what you think about that.

Whoever writes the script to defeat that approach would have to second guess each and every possible question you could ask, get the script/bot they are writing to recognise and distinguish between them, and supply the correct answer.

I wouldn't like to be charged with writing that one! You have found a good solution, ronnie.
