Captcha codes
 
Like WTF?

I'm drunk and all i want to is change a tiny bit of my myspace profile, what comes up?
Some wierd blur of letters that are still hardly readable whilst sober.

They're annoying. and pointless.



Discuss.

=P

I HATE THOSE THINGS
I know they're meant to stop spammers and phishers, but when all I want to do is change one word on my profile I don't want to be typing out a code the length of my arm because Tom thinks I'm spamming my own flipping profile!

*breathes*

They suckkk.
All i want to do is leave my friend a comment but noooooo i have to fill in a box with random letters and numbers.
And i want to alter a tiny bit of my profile.
But again.
Nooooooooo.
And if you type one little mistake in the box it'll come back.
and back.
and back.
until you get it right.

GAH. i heavily dislike Tom.

Glad to see I'm not alone in this!

Dicky, if you ever use myspace far too much you'll learn to annoyance of captcha.,

*nods*

I can barely read the properly when sober. Let alone retype them.
>_>

But, i'd prefer that then my myspace page ****ed with, or something!

Captchas have, in this case it seems, worked perfectly :P

They are not to combat spam at all, they are a subliminal method of quality control on the internet.

If you are too drunk to read the captcha, you should probably sober up before leaving that message :)

^ I'd have to agree?

But yes. They suck. And half the time I get them wrong sober. So really, i'm not even sure sobering up would help. Not that i'm saying stay drunk...but still.

I hate codes. They're so awkwarrrd. It took me about a year to realise why it would work to centre my profile. Apparently centre is spelt cenTER. Psch. I wasn't impressed..mainly with myself. But still.

Aphelion 02-01-2008 01:59 PM

Copy and paste?
Or something.
Yeh shut up Maja. I actually don't know what captcha codes are. Which says a lot about my skills.

Tears and Rain 02-01-2008 02:04 PM

A captcha:
[Yes I actually had to enter into the myspace world to get you this]


Aphelion 02-01-2008 02:08 PM

Oh that *****.
You only have to type it once though. Then when you made any further changes it automatically lets you. Provided you do it like, in one go.

Tears and Rain 02-01-2008 02:11 PM

But you also have to type them when commenting peopleeee. Which is rubbish.
And why facebook is the way to go (Y)

The Hierophant 02-01-2008 02:17 PM

What is this myspace?

Aidee 02-01-2008 02:28 PM

I just left a comment for someone earlier today and this didn't pop up......strange.

GlitterTrashDoll 02-01-2008 02:50 PM

It pops up when i leave certain people comments, but not everyone. its odd.

XxLostxX 02-01-2008 02:57 PM

in peoples settings they can change weather you have to use captcha to post them a comment. So blame the person your commenting for having it turned on =P

Kangaroo 02-01-2008 03:11 PM
