Feedback on incomprehensible CAPTCHA

[scm2000]

Hi, I'm new here and will introduce myself in the correct topic, but I want to give feedback on the barrier I had to register here.

It's fine to require answering and Amiga related question, if you don't know the answer I'm sure everything is findable on the web, but the CAPTCHA was a real problem for me.

I had to request several new letters to find some that were barely legible and I had to use Mac zooming to decipher . I understand adding noise is done to confuse robots, but there are limits to humans too based on age and the condition of their eyesight.  It's not just the noise but the low contrast with the background.

I did try to click on to listen to the letters, but it had no effect in my browser -- Which is Safari on a Mac.

I'm glad I made it in though and I'm just hoping some feedback might lead to some loosening of settings if any for the letter obfuscation.

Unfortunately, last time I altered it, we had mass registrations and spamming.
So had to put it back.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that the listen option is only a problem on my system, if that does indeed work it may not be such a problem.
