Half the time I get it "wrong" because I can't read it, and once it even gave me an "e" or something that had to have the two dots over it...
...Really now, Escapist? I am disappoint.

Personally I don't see why I need to give you a captcha. I've been here for months and have hundreds of legitimate posts, I'm not a spam bot. Now for users that or say only a week old and have only a handful of posts sure but it seems pointless to have them for long-time users.
Also wow the audio version is fucking inaudible thanks to Realplayer-in-the-90s grade bitrate. It sounds like they're under an ocean of tin foil.

I almost feel like it may have been a genuine bug because I failed every single first try too. Although it could be something as simple as failing causing me to pay more attention.

I have to join the group and say that the Captchas recently implimented are nigh impossible to read for a normal person. I kept getting them wrong, even if I was damned sure I typed in the thing right, then I switched to the voice one. I can't hear the voices half the time in all the scrambled sound (bots can hear voice clips? Why are the voices scrambled too?) and have to turn it up loud to hear them at all. Then even if I'm right it wants me to redo it half the time.
They are annoying, but at least they seem stop spam bots. We don't want the site to become as spam-bot infested as IGN (where a good third of the comments are from spam bots).
I get them occasionally, but they've been appearing less and less over the course of the last 3 or 4 days.
Advertisements? I haven't noticed any of the captchas being advertisements. The only thing I can complain about them is that sometimes they are hard to read. Other than that I don't really have a problem as they don't pop up often enough and when I didn't notice one it saved my post and had me put complete it.
Not that I'm against cutting down on spam, but I once had to repost the same thing three times, because the bloody thing wouldn't accept my perfectly written captcha. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!?!?!
Anyway, it seems to be gone now, at least for me. Guess that means I'm not one of those nefarious spambot things.
Also, did you know you could be saving a lot of money by switching your car insurance to Geico?

I really don't mind captchas too much - yeah, they can be annoying when they're too hard to read sometimes, but honestly they're inconsequential since I am, in fact, a human and not a spambot, thus they do not stop me from posting. If they're mixing ads into them now, well, even if you make 100 posts a day, you're only seeing about eight captchas total. Not something I'd get too riled up about.
They don't trouble me at all. The only time they annoy me is when I type down exactly what was there but noooooo it's wrong. Apart from that, it's an extra five seconds to post and a minor inconvenience, but I'm not bothered.
In my considerable experience, fighting spammers just makes them angry. Seriously we- I mean, those guys are /fierce/ when provoked. Still, good on you for trying. Hopefully it won't be permanent.
Along with Lisa Foiles top 5, and a few other things. I agree, the quality of the website has lessened most recently. Sunk to a new low.subject_87 said:
