Can you please disable stupid Captcha

Posted by kartal on 2009-06-19 17:13

Hi
I am sick of this Captcha thing and it really gets on my nerves. I bet there are only couple people on earth who would dig such stupidty. It is also worse in this forum mainly because stupid Captcha machine thinks that I am a spam everytime I try to post, who cares? This just makes me less involved with any forum including Komodo`s. I probably would post more if it is more convenient for me. Really spam is not my problem, I am not the one who is creating spam . If Captcha machine fails to locate spam, then maybe it is time to retire the Captcha. I hope this post makes sense to moderators. Now I need to deal with it one more time to be able to post this topic.

I apologize for the inconvenience. We're using the Mollom service to filter comments on this site to block spam, and it blocks an awful lot of it. It isn't perfect however, I suspect because it is still being trained on what kind of content is legitimate for this site. It doesn't help that there are several worms out there that post comment spam using random text form the site's own pages ( plus a link ).

jeffg,

Sorry for the negative topic. I understand the hardships of fighting spam, But the current methods also punish the users, visitors(not just Komodo sites, in general around the net I mean)

I hope there would be better solutions in the future.

thanks

That's no problem, I understand the frustrations on both sides of the issue, believe me. I hope to get some time to re-visit this issue soon and improve things.
