Nobody can vote with the new captcha system. I get it right every time and it thinks I'm failing to type the right answer. Please go back to image random captcha verification.

Seconded, the new Captcha is a nonsense. Change it please, it's completly borked.

I sat there for 1 hour and still can't get it. It tells me right one time then wrong another.

Works fine for me. You should be glad the top 25 servers can't just autobot their votes any more.

While I am all for the advances in attempting to stop spambots and autovoters, I feel I must step in and express my own dismay at the new CAPTCHA.



I mean, come on. There's obviously six squares and six triangles in each of those, yet it tells me I'm wrong each time. When I try to count things extra or such that may *look* like a triangle/square, it still counts me wrong regardless of the number I put in (for instance, I tried eight since there's two very dark grey looking triangles to the far right, still got it wrong. Tried seven, wrong). Unless there's some sort of optical illusion I'm not seeing here (which should not be used in CAPTCHA), or there's some sort of hidden rule for pointing out squares/triangles, I'm pretty confident I'm correct in my numbers.

A CAPTCHA is meant to confuse and ward off bots, not the users of its community. And there's some of us who actually want to vote for our favorite servers without the promise of reward or some such. I've been trying for over half an hour now, and the closest I've come to is one right and one wrong on a different CAPTCHA (the right one was correct based on obvious black squares. Rather than some sort of optical illusion it wants me to see.)

I am glad they can't auto bot vote or whatever but man that is hard for me to understand. I guess votes will become a more precious commodity now!

Ok, agreed it is a bit screwy. PM Paril.

I've only bothered voting a few times because of the captcha.. It's a huge pain. I think paril is a good developer though. I'd like to see some different forms of bot detection take place.

I've had players on my server complain in the past hours they cannot figure it out either. Tried myself several times, had the same issues as Migglesticks.

Not only about half of the images are broken, even those that are obvious don't accept the correct answer.

I love your grammatical proficiency. + 2

I'll work on this now. I think image caching is playing a part in the issue. You should get a new set of images if you fail. I also think I know why their are reports of corrupted images. Will update.

Thanks mate cause it's really hard to get votes.
