Search Tab
 

What is with the 'String Verification' thing in the Search page? I saw it for the first time yesterday, and not only do I forget about it until it bites me, but half the time I can't read it anyway.

I'm confused.

Its to prevent bots from running searches and DNS the Subsim server. It looks funny so text recondition programs can't read it.

Forget what its called but it starts with a 'C'. :damn:

I know what is is, I just hate having to deal with it. :wah:

I also realize that I can reset the doodad until I get one I can read, so I guess I'm just gonna have to live with it.

A 'Captcha'?

:yep:

But when it fails it's called a c**t :DL

:haha: Among some other names if I'm in a hurry. :DL

I hate the damn thing - always have , really have trouble reading it.

But if it's a necessary evil - then I'll just have to deal with it.

I hate it too :wah:

We still have 5 or 6 spammers a week, they have to be human.

You mean it's........alive?

I have noticed recently that one or two posters will post two posts that are on topic and related to subsim, then the third will be a spam post, or they will carry on posting 'normally' but with a sig advertising fake handbags (or whatever). Now, the question is, are their posts copies of older posts, or are they human created new posts?

I'm finding the search feature to be incredibly difficult to use now. The catchawhatever images are virtually impossible for humans to read (I had to try 6 times to get one to accept it, meaning it was turning ME into a spammer) and the whole search process has now turned into more trouble than it's worth. This can only be a bad thing.
