I just went to post in my grow thread and got asked to enter a captcha. Like fuck was I going to on a forum like this. Just wondering if this is some new policy, or some attempt to hack my account in some way. Most unusual.

I had it happen the other day, Sunni (global Mod) said it was something they were trying to use to filter spam.

That was my first thought. Def a needed feature although personally I hate those fucking captcha things and don't get them most of the time.

Spam Filters due to the mass of third world posts and more lol , it gets to be ridiculous and I just copy and paste as its easier to refresh the page and do this than to decipher the damn words all jumbled together .

I think they need to fine tune it to newbie posters or something because I'm still seeing alot of spam.

Seems random right now and it freaks people out. I was confused first time I saw it.

I just got slapped in the face with a captcha too "confirm your access to riu". I rather see captchas than spam but yeah, newbie group, or based on post count and/or registration date would be nice.

I've seen some new CAPTCHAs that are puzzle pieces that you have to drag and drop.
