Post any comments on captcha performance starting this week, if you have them, or don't if you don't have them.
I can't help with individual cases but the difficulty was adjusted recently.
>>499794
I've had no problems in shitting up the site with my useless opinions.
No problems, felt like it got easier since there are less "click until X disappears".
>>499794
I got the captcha window growing vertically to max size but staying empty yesterday.
I was not a fan on the ones where you have to click them, and they disappear. I've gotten multiple captcha's wrong due to it, is there anyway it could be better?
>>499805
I use classic captcha and I've never even seen these. Sounds horrible.
>>499794
Why would that concern you? You aren't a Google employee.
>>499811
Why would that concern you? You aren't a 4chan developer.

GitGud.
I got sick and forgot to answer some useless questions so here you go. But I'm not going to do this forever, you'd just get bored of me.
>>Futakoi Alternative
>Did you ever watch W-Wish, Tenshi no Shippo-chu or Seraphim Call?
Nah. Futakoi Alternative isn't like that really. I had some plan to watch Uta-Kata and Kokoro Library but didn't get around to it.
> What is/was your favourite April fool?
Answering this is problematic because there's actually no evidence of our old April Fools anywhere, so we actually got to reuse one in the last year or two and nobody noticed. (that's why the jokes in Sticky were kind of old)
My favorite was sharing posts on Facebook. BTW, my real "great" idea hasn't been done because we don't know people who want to write HTML5 game engines for us for free.
> What OS do you use and why isn't it OS X?
It is OS X, plus super slow Asus thing for VNs, plus some VMs sometimes. The OS 4chan uses is FreeBSD, which is nearly a great OS but kind of stuck in the 90s.
>>499794
i primarily use legacy captcha and i feel like i'm getting more of the street signs and less of the more forgiving street numbers. am i imagining things?

>>499836
Nobody would ever get bored of asking you endless technical questions, blue palm man. Hope you feel better though.
Legacy captcha works ~95% of the time for me btw.
>>499794
Bring back v1 captcha by default
it really compresses my ballsack when i have to turn it on every time i re-open my browser
>>499811
>You aren't a Google employee.
Or is she?
Could we get v1s for reporting posts too? The clicking shit fails way too many times.
>>499836
Would you ever add something that would randomly generate a name in the name field? Maybe the name would be a different color, too.
+Name in the options field?

Why does sometimes captcha automatically know that I'm not a robot and then 5 minutes later it turns around asks me to identify certain images every single time?
>>499794
What anime is this?
>>499794
1-What's up with the "select [x] until there aren't any" (or something like that, idk the thing is set-up as spanish in my case) and "select all images with street names" why are they so fucking difficult
2- why some browsers suffer from pic related?.
Is such a fucking pain in the ass when it happens to mobile.
>>499794
When I use legacy captcha v1 it's all gibberished up instead if the regular captchas
Also why is my isp/ip range banned from posting on /b/?
>>499794
Everything seems to be running smoothly. I'll have moments when all images/gifs/webm's stop loading on every thread and board I'm currently on and later navigate to. This is on Chrome and closing all tabs and restarting fixes it. Not sure what causes it though. It's usually after having the computer on for several hours.
>>499794
Why the hell is it that it sometimes changes from "solve this once. now you can post" to "MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS REQUIRED MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS REQUIRED MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS REQUIRED LMAO FUCK YOU"?
>>499794
Why Google? Would be awesome if we got alternative captcha.
who /legacycaptcha/ here
>>500238
>Why Google?
http://chrishateswriting.com/post/140641275808/my-next-chapter
>>499794
legacy captcha on report page as default PLEASE
It's alright but sometimes there's that kind of captcha that, when you click, the boxes go blank and the image is replaced with something else, in such a way you can't ever finish the captcha.
The only way out is F5ing the page until you get a decent captcha.
What's your favorite raibu?
>>500507
Read the fucking instructions at the top of the captchabox next time you dense cocksniff
>>499794
i once did over 40 captchas in a row and it still wouldnt let me post, it didnt even say multiple solutions required it just kept giving me more captchas
i refreshed and it let me post after 1 captcha
>>499794
Why don't you faggots actually pay attention to real problems with the site instead of poking your head around on the rare occasion and try to distract everyone from the shit state you've allowed the site to become?

>>499794
Stop having the default Captcha be those Image Clicking shit. Have everyone's default be the Legacy Captcha, and if people care enough they can change it.
Literally the thing 4chan should stay the FUCK away from
>>500666
oh hey Satanic Trips
Why can't we use the same captcha that cripplewheel uses on 8ch/dnsbls_bypass.php? Perhaps as an option to switch between captcha services (google default, other captchas optional)
>>499794
The ones that you click and get a circle with a check in it (click bodies of water such as...). They load a new image and then it doesn't work.
Legacy captcha is almost completely illegible 100% of the time and fails more often than picture captcha, but picture captcha CONSTANTLY gets this and "multiple correct solutions required". It's intentionally bad so people will buy a pass, right? It's so goddamn terrible.
>>500938
I just wish the captcha made me feel less violated every time I use it.
>Fill out all the house numbers
>>500942
What's creepy about house numbers pulled off of Google Street View?
>>500938
I FUCKING HATE THAT ONE
EACH TIME I CLICK IT IT DISAPPEARS
Captchas are absolute shit for me. They fail 60% of the time even if I answer them correctly. Switch to a non-Joogle based captcha, please.
Hiro, PLEASE delete (or at least modify) the robot on /r9k/. It's designed in a way so that it actually discourages original content yet still allows cancer to fester thanks to the fact that you can pretty much bypass it by typing some variant of the word "blox". I know people think /r9k/ isn't worth saving but it's been able to produce OC in the past when moot killed the robot, but ever since it was reinstated the board has become irredeemable shit.
Since several days ago. Legacy captchas have been failing more often for me.
Also, when saving from twitter put :orig on the end of the URL to get the ORIGinal image
>>501261
btw I only ever do the number captchas not the street signs.
>>500966
I literally came here to complain about this too, then I had a thought "what if I kept clicking them until no more were left", looking back I realize I'm an idiot.
What I'm use to are the "select X", these ones literally want all of X to be gone, I admit I feel extremely stupid after this realization
>>501176
If the robot gets removed, that "Another day another dollar" faggot will start posting literally the same thread over and over again. I am entirely against making things easier for him.
>shades to white
fucking annoying, fix that shit
>>501542
I know it confused the shit out of me before, but i'm still irritated when I see them.
>>499794
Why the fuck do I have to do two captchas? What bot is going to pas a single one?
Also, some of the "select until there are no more of ___" don't work.
Since they're both pretty much the same board, which gets more action: /vp/ or /trash/?
>>501571
>Implying the same threads aren't already being reposted every day
>Implying it's worth ruining the whole board just because of one autist
if le blue palm tree man is still here could I just ask why you use Jewgle as the default?
>>501176
The robot is made to force people to make OC dipshit, but I guess your a newfag judging by the frog
>>501793
For OC to thrive, it must be allowed to spread and be reposted again and again. The robot makes it so any potential new memes can't be reposted, thereby ruining whatever potential said meme had. It's why you rarely see any /r9k/ exclusive memes, while pretty much every other board has their own culture.
>>501970
kill yourself
>>502200
Stay mad.
>>501970
>For OC to thrive
>must be allowed to spread and be reposted again and again
Obviously then it's no longer OC.
Memes are not the point of 4chan.
Memes != Fun.
You can have all kinds of enjoyment here without resorting to memery.
>>501970
Literally cancer. Who the fuck cares about meme OC? The robot is supposed to enforce discussion OC which does in turn creates fun and new memes, like what is supposed to happen. If you are such a stupid faggot that you need memes and shit to come here and that the prevention of extreme reposting upsets you, then 4chan isn't for you.
>>502306
>You can have all kinds of enjoyment here without resorting to memery.
Yes, you can. But /r9k/ was meant to produce original content, and in the years since its inception the board has become virgin self-pity central 101. moot even said himself that /r9k/ hasn't been original in years, which is why he finally disabled the robot.
>>502307
>Literally cancer. Who the fuck cares about meme OC? The robot is supposed to enforce discussion OC which does in turn creates fun and new memes, like what is supposed to happen.
Name 5 memes /r9k/ has produced since its creation that aren't essentially variants of >tfw no gf.
>If you are such a stupid faggot that you need memes and shit to come here and that the prevention of extreme reposting upsets you, then 4chan isn't for you.
When a board that's created to produce OC fails to do even that, it has failed as a board.
>>502333
>But /r9k/ was meant to produce original content,
/r9k/ was meant to be a better /b/, not a meme machine. Memetards are fucking cancer who apparently completely miss the point.
The only 'meme board' on the entire website is [s4s]. Every other board is for discussion or image dumping, not for shitting out OC and people who care about OC so much are cancer.
>>502342
>/r9k/ was meant to be a better /b/, not a meme machine.
And now it's essentially /b/ 2.0, right down to the exact same threads getting posted again and again every single day.
>The only 'meme board' on the entire website is [s4s].
moot said himself that he loves [s4s] because it reminds him of old /b/, which is pretty much saying /r9k/ has failed to, as you put it, "be a better /b/".
>Every other board is for discussion or image dumping, not for shitting out OC and people who care about OC so much are cancer.
Only difference is /r9k/ was created with the purpose of creating new OC.
>>499794
Yes, the current captcha blows dick, times out too quickly, and the new one is very slow disappearing tiles.
Is this your master plan to make us buy a pass?
I can upload 1 MB files again without connection error, but that's not a huge gain.
>>502347
>Only difference is /r9k/ was created with the purpose of creating new OC.
It wasn't, get that through your head. /r9k/ was literally an experiment, with the main goal of trying to make a better /b/. And it is clear that it failed and that you can't have a better /b/ in the modern memey 4chan. One of the reasons it failed is, besides the fact it became /adv/, is because of retards like you who desire repetition and are too stupid to move the fuck on, eg. pepe. The purpose of the robot isn't to create new OC, it is to prevent repetition and to keep everything fresh, the exact opposite of what you want clearly. In-fact, I think it'd be interesting if the robot was turned on globally or at-least for OP wise. It would be a interesting experiment to see how meme babys react when they can no longer constantly do nothing but repeat the same thing on a global scale, since the majority of shit would be churned out of the first day.
[s4s] is compared to old 4chan not because its a memey shitposting board, mate. It's the environment of the board and the attitude of the users. The only memey part would be that the board is anything but repetitive. Someone is started, it goes through its cycle which is generally a few hours to a few weeks and then people drop it and move onto the next thing instead of constantly trying to forcefully keep it alive long past its cycle like a bunch of unfunny fucks. So, basically, the board is also everything you aren't looking for.
Anyone who values and rates a board by the memes it makes should kill themselves.
>>502333
Isn't this literally the exact argument given for why they turned the robot back on in the first place?
I swear I read anons saying these exact words:
>It used to produce OC, now it's nothing but feels threads because they turned the robot off
>>502382
Literally the only times I've seen OC get created was when moot killed the robot. It's really not a good system and most people who want it to stay are trying to cling to that last scrap of so-called "board culture" that /r9k/ pretends it has.
>>502392
There is literally no purpose to /r9k/ without the robot. If you are going to remove the robot, you may as well just delete the board instead and tell the users to move to /b/.
>>502405
>There is literally no purpose to /r9k/ without the robot.
That's why I said either remove or fix the robot, it's good in concept but in practice it just sucks.
>If you are going to remove the robot, you may as well just delete the board instead and tell the users to move to /b/.
I agree, but we both know that's never going to happen.
>>502418
>but in practice it just sucks.
Nah, the problem here was it was put on a topic-less board. If you placed it on a board with a topic you'd most likely see actual effects, with one of the first and biggest one being most likely effectively killing generals.
Whether it does this or not, I'd actually like to see the experiment take place and have it placed on one of the big boards for a little bit of time like /pol/, /a/, /v/ or, fuck, even /vg/. It would be interesting at-least.
>>502434
I'd like to see this too, if only to see how other boards could handle it. I can imagine the robot would do something to combat all the rampant shitposting on boards like /int/ and /pol/. Like you said, /r9k/ never really had a topic, which IMO is why the board is as terrible as it is.
>>500238
If you're taking having a captcha seriously, you have to spend more time defending it than all the captcha-breaking services spend attacking it. Is there anyone left besides recaptcha who provides that service?
coolphp and wakaba probably let in bots with modern computer vision, but on the other hand they're not accessible to the blind, which recaptcha is.
>>500617
That was then and now is now!
>>500631
If you see some, get the ad URL (has /ados in it) and put it in feedback.
>>501776
Would you prefer Yahoo?
>>501176
I think technical problems should be solved with technology and social problems should be solved with, um, socialism or something.
So tuning the robot to change human behavior is a dead end, and board culture is best enforced with moderation. Obviously janitors can only work so much and we're not going to have upvotes, so it's a little tenuous.
Then again, I think Futaba (2chan) has 5 different /b/s, so more than one isn't so bad.
Maybe that webcomic guy has some new ideas?
>>502584
Idea
Can we get dice rolls on [s4s] for added dubs rolling experience?
>>Dear Mr. Dev
With the site finished now, how do you deal with stupid questions?
I got this weird-ass captcha earlier today. It was like, checkboxes and then when you solved it you had this long-ass code you had to paste. Never seen it on 4chan before, and it didn't happen again after that. Not sure if it's because I've been having internet problems today or because you're testing new things with the captcha, but I thought I'd report it.
>>502602
Yea, those seem to be a newer type I think. It seems to show up if you have shitty internet or if you access a site with a proxy. I kinda like them over the normal recaptcha, as they don't seem as hellbent on trying to fuck you over and use you to go through as many things as possible.
Also, on the previous topic of the robot. Dev-kun, how heavy on the server resources do you think it would be if the robot was turned on globally or at-least for OP only? How heavy would it be if it was on /vg/ and/or /b/?
>>502584
Hey why do we have flags and ids here? Are we reddit?

>problem with /vg/ is that it doesnt have enough space
Faggot, what the fuck are you smoking? Fuck no, it doesn't need any more pages. Pages aren't a problem on that board and adding more would only make a problem since /vg/ server usage is apparently on par with /b/.
/vg/ issues is that its a general board. Don't make up imaginary problems.
>>503257
main /vg/ issue is shitposting generals pushing generals where actual discussion happens to page 10 in 20 minutes, so those generals in turn turn to shitposting generals to survive
Captcha just is not fucking solving for me.
The ones mentioned here >>499805 are horrendous and the new ones with the check box almost never succeed and require a refresh, God forbid I encounter them on mobile.

>>503732
In a previous thread you said that 2ch had a karma based tracking system and mentioned that it could be implemented with localstorage. Just wondering, how taxing would that be on 4chan's servers if done properly?
>Then again, I think Futaba (2chan) has 5 different /b/s, so more than one isn't so bad.
What do you think of futaba's ura boards?
>>503732
>The robot takes no time at all. Might work.
Do it.
You might spare /vg/, since they already have generals with repeating pasta, but do it for all other boards.
is it possible to add a sound notification when you're about to get raided by FBI agents?
Because I've been posting some top classified information on /pol/ and got raided a couple of times without a warning, would be great if I could dispose of evidence before FBI gets into my house
>>503737
>Turn on the robot for all boards
Oh god no. Stop trying to punish the rest of the boards you don't browse.
>>503735
>karma based tracking system
What a horrible idea. Why don't we just rename the site 4reddit if we do that.
>>503739
I browse at least 10 boards. The slow ones are already quite original and wouldn't be affected by robot, but the bad ones can only gain from it.
>>503741
What you think of as "bad" is not necessarily a good indicator of quality, and furthermore, you presume much to be speaking for every other poster on those 10 boards you supposedly browse when you say they "wouldn't be affected".
>>503742
Tell me how do you think it could affect any of the boards you browse in a negative way.
>>503741
The robot doesn't seem to do a lot to stop the daily shit threads on r9k however. Furthermore some of the boards with really shitty users like /v/, /tv/ and /int/ would just see it as a challenge to bypass the robot because their default mode is the high schooler mentality of "fuck authority telling me what to do, I'm not a little kid anymore I do what I want".
>>503743
Simply telling a person "No" isn't original enough.
>>499794

One of the problem with landscape in iOS Safari is that it behaves like desktop version without the inline extension or something like that. For instance, quote links don't appear at all.

One shouldn't ask yes/no question in the first place. This is a discussion boards and all post should stimulate discussion.
But let's assume there are quality posts that can take such an answer as complete.
What if it applied only to OP posts?

Who are you to decide that?

Then people who make threads based on images won't be able to post, among other legitimate posters. inb4 you tell me that's a good thing.

That already exists, 4chan has an identification cookie that prevents you from ban evading. Unfortunately, deleting cookies and/or localstorage is even easier than resetting your IP.
The only real options to stop ban evaders for good are
>add user accounts and make creating a new account non-trivial
>make the site pay to post
and both of them are buttfuck retarded and would quickly kill the site so for now you'll have to deal with it.

Except it's not? In-fact, it is the direct opposite. The robot enforces the natural concepts of 4chan. The only people it 'punishes' is memetards who have never heard of the notion of originally and not repeating the exact same thing 50,000 times and generalfags. The robot applied globally can only have a positive effect, whether it is for generating discussion or having fun and the only group who truly loses out is generalfag as they thrive by literally trying to fight against 4chan itself and memetards, but, people care about them even less than generalfags.
It doesn't even matter what positive or negative effects it could have. It is all worth it to have it on for at least a week as it would be outright hilarious and having it placed on /vg/ as well would be the funniest of them all.
>>503980
The "robot" is a flawed script that prohibits normal conversation, and I'm not talking about in the way the people who want wordfilters removed mean either. Besides >>503757, simply having an image dump thread would be prohibited. That's only the tip of the iceberg, with practical use many more instances of legitimate posts stifled will become apparent as the robot tests the cultures of many different boards. It was only intended for /r9k/ for a reason.
I can appreciate your want for a lulzworthy sitewide prank, but if it's chemo you're really after then I think you might as well go for the gold and fire up the flashing colors and blinking text and have mods embed Cotton Eyed Joe in every board.
>>503980
I have browsed /r9k/ since the start and I can tell you that the robot sucks ass.
The very idea is fedora/reddit-tier to begin with, not surprising since it was created by the author of xkcd. That guy should consider suicide.
>>503732
bring back nazi flag for /pol/
also rhodesia flag or apartheid south africa if possible
>>503735
I don't read 2chan very often since the age-old OS-tan and Spiderman memes, but I thought it was funny they had an RP board last I looked. There's really low post quality over there…
>>503813
OK…wait, there are posters from Myanmar?
>>503836
We don't have that level of control over it, but I can pass on feedback to the recaptcha dev team.
>>503882
Yes. Different boards have expiration tuned differently, some prefer new threads and some will let them live forever if they're popular. (/u/ threads are months old for instance)
Previously I have had a zero percent success rate with the "Select all the X" dynamic capcha. That's now at least sometimes accepting a correct response.
I haven't gotten the infinite "Multiple solutions required" thing since this week, where it requires 8+, but that rarely happened before to begin with. (once every 4 months)
>>504094
>OK…wait, there are posters from Myanmar?
On /pol/. It's a fault line where Buddhists vs Islamic jihadis, middle east vs S.E. asia gets shooty now and then.
I've started to get the near-impossible captchas ( >>503832 ) on a regular basis starting about a month ago. but they don't stick around very long like they used to, and they aren't quite as impossible. this is unwelcome, but acceptable. still pisses me off that we have to have captchas at all when it's supposed to learn you're not a robot and keep that cached for you for a while
I got a string of the 'impossible' captchas for a couple of hours yesterday. Other than that, I have no issues.
>>504094
Tokelau's flag is outdated too. It should look like this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Flag_of_Tokelau.svg instead of this https://s.4cdn.org/image/country/tk.gif
>>504219
4chan uses famfamfam icons so they will obviously be out of date
http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/
>>504293
that's why we want them to be updated
What is captcha? Is that the thing that's there when you don't have gold account?
>>504094
Why didn't moot end up calling the 4chan pass a 4chan gold account?
>>503732
Should've turned it on globally April 1st.
Would've been great.
Uh, okay. I just solved a captcha, clicked post, and THEN got a popup asking me to solve a captcha. I closed it since the post went through and there was no need to do it, but what the heck was that?
You did good Google
I couldn't get a captcha when it asked me to click on all the rivers, even when I did, it didn;t get a captcha.
>>499794
This is fucked. Get rid of the one captcha that replaces old tiles with new ones. It never fucking works correctly. I am also in computer science so I know when to try to fix something and when to scrap something. Get rid of it.
>>505232
>>505236
This, please get rid of the replace tiles one.
Pic related if the captcha I got!
Honestly, seeing problems of people here, please do keep this retarded captcha! It's not only retarded, but also retard-proof. At least we get rid of people who are unable to read.
>>505247
But it breaks too much, have a hard one but not a broken one, fix that one or make a hard not broken one.
>>505249
Mine's not broken.
>>505253
Good for you, but others are so this needs to be fixed some how.
>>499794
There are no images left, yet it says I am still lacking some.
If you are to retarded to do it right maybe you should an hero so that someone competent can take over
There is no fix.
The way captchas work is entirely out of 4chan's hands.
They can only decide if they want to revert back to an older captcha or keep the current one.
The captcha really is not a problem though.
I'm more successful with this captcha system than the letter based one and it's much harder to make a spambot with this setup.
People just love complaining about things that don't matter.
>>505283
You'd have to start talking with Google.
Google is in charge of reCAPTCHA,
4chan probably has a lot of say over how the captchas work, so if Hiro and Devboi write feedback to Google, they would take it seriously.
That's up to them though.
>>505291
Yeah ok, but that's what this thread is for, this might catch their eyes and if they want to change it for us, which they should, we might get an improved reCAPTCHA
>>501261
Dear Developer, It's still a problem and is happening often.
>>505412
buy a 4chan
>>505412
forgot to write pass :s
>>501276
my nigga
god dammit the captchas where you select an image and it disappears and you need to pick another one, they're fucking useless garbage. Why are they even there? to spice things up? it fucking sucks senpai
Dear developer, why not use your own CAPTCHA instead of Google's like a certain other imageboard?
>>507420
It was answered earlier.
Hosting captcha is really expensive and very difficult to make it effective.
>>507444
How effective must it be? And I don't think 8ch's CAPTCHAs are really that complex and "expensive" tbqh.
>>507506
lol who?
nobody cares about otherchan
>>507516
Yes but their CAPTCHA at least isn't shit.
>>507524
just being attached to cripplechan means it's automatically shit by default.
VP9 WebMs when?
Microsoft has added support for them in their browser now.
>>507526
Have you even used it? It's not the mess we have here. It's literally the only thing good about 8ch, though.
Hay this is dre would you know where I could two pack a moot to 6 pack a swag to the fridge no drive fifty five
>>499794
I'm getting pictures of fucking kidney stones in my captcha
>>507743
Pics or didn't happen.
Hey blue palm tree man, Hiroshima, or whomever it may concern,
When will we ever get a /writing/ board? You know, stuff like poetry, short stories, greentext stories, etc. Implement the ROBOT9000 script there, then it would actually be useful. I mostly just miss the amount of greentext stories that used to be told.
>>507861
Hopefully never, that's a stupid idea and you can just make a thread on /b/.
>>507861
>stuff like poetry, short stories
Go on /lit/
>greentext stories
/b/ or /r9k/, unless the stories are relevant to a certain boards subject
>>505706
Are we being punished by moot and google for only doing easy number captchas
>>507820
>I could easily but I won't
sure thing
>>508358
Numeric captchas are easy to break unless the average person fails them 3 to 4 times per post. 8gag has a spam issue because of this and 4ch used to.
Look up recaptcha 1 hack or something like that. The new
>>508358
Who are you quoting?
Captcha is better
>>508369
>I could easily but I won't
>>507820
But CAPTCHA is supposed to be easy and merely a barrier against some spam. Janitors and mods should be doing their job instead of coming up with more ways of being lazy.
>https://www.quora.com/Why-did-reCAPTCHA-get-replaced-with-a-clickbox-noCAPTCHA
Q
We're not all as retarded as you.
>>508375
You've clearly never seen an actual spam attack.
>>508375
>Janitors and mods
You pay people to stop being lazy.
>>508378
I have and I know that Google reCAPTCHA definitely helps a lot due to its popularity and advanced algorithms but it will never be able to stop everything. If a board (or all boards) are being spammed to death, then block everyone from posting.
>>502584
>Then again, I think Futaba (2chan) has 5 different /b/s, so more than one isn't so bad.
Jap chans are awful though, they can easily have a board per anime show. This is our future with Hiro
>>499794
consider non-google captcha if it is an alternative, a third of the time I fail to connect to captcha servers for no reason/it accepts, then complains and wants me to fill it out again
or give option for the old text one back which worked
this
>>499794
The definitions of what the objects are in the captcha are getting more and more vague. Find pies! Whoops you missed one, guess which one of these foodstuffs may be remotely considered a pie or leafs or roadsigns.
Also yeah >>499805
those are obnoxious simply because I don't know it's that specific kind of captcha until I've already failed it.
>>508986
nice singles desu
>>508613
Why do you keep suggesting an outdated and insecure captcha system ?
>select [house numbers] until all have vanished
>press Verify
>"Multiple solutions required"
FUCK THIS
DON'T YOU FUCKING TELL ME THAT GODDAMN RIVER IS A HOUSE NUMBER
THERE ARE NO NUMERALS LEFT ANYWHERE IN THOSE IMAGES
FUCK
HOW THE FUCK DOES CAPTCHA GET WORSE EVERY GODDAMN UPDATE
I EVEN HAD TO FUCKING RELOAD THE CAPTCHA MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET A FUCKING CAPTCHA THAT ISN'T THAT JUST TO MAKE THIS REPLY HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK
AND THEN GODDAMN >pic related HAPPENS HOW FUCKING BRAINDEAD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO NOT TEST THIS SHIT
JUST
FUCKING
STOP CHANGING IT

>But iOS apps can't show any NSFW content
I'm not an iPhone user, so correct me if I'm wrong but: doesn't iOS has alternate web browsers ? How come they are allowed if they can be used to view porn ? It's obviously because they aren't responsible for what's on the internet.
Can't you just make like them, and say the content isn't the responsibility of the app developer ?
I keep getting these captchas where I have to constantly click on numbers or rivers until there are none left. Problem is, there's been a few times where that remaining image I click on keeps putting up street signs or mountains or whatever it was asking me to click on. After a few more clicks it gives a captcha connection error. \
And trying to post in this thread I successfully eliminated all pictures of rivers. Said I didn't dot hat.
>>508996
I don't mean to suggest anything. I'm pointing out the difficult legacy captchas as blue palm man asked. I use legacy because it has a better success rate than the modern captcha in my experience. I don't know what you mean by "insecure" .
What did I do wrong?
Also,
>connection error
When trying to reply after the captcha is finally solved.
>>509118
Forgot webm
I guess I suck at captcha.
>>508986
When is /film/ going to open?
>>499794
this fuckin click until it stops shit is terrible. it always fails
>>509124
Have you by any chance been solving a lot of captchas?
I had to do them for a straight 5 minutes.
Whatever decides a 'river' or 'street numbers' are is bad and wrong. The ones where you click until the disappear is the worst.
Why were word captchas such a bad thing? It works for every other website.
>>509119
You got it wrong.
There was nothing on the top right of the first one
>>509124
and you can cycle through the captchas you don't like on the bottom left
>>509330
I'd like to know how this system works. Does it pull 9 random images from google image search?
Will it put in similar ones to fuck me? Like if it asks for "Rivers" will some of the results be "Lakes" and count as an incorrect answer? Because I can't see the entire piece of water sometimes, it could be either. How smart is this thing?
>>509343
I've gotten every captcha right.
I have not gotten a single one wrong in probably about 20 posts.
The problem is not the captcha, it's the people using it.
>>509348
On /qa/ ? because it seems board specific on how many times it asks you to do more and more.
>pick house numbers
So you pick them until they disappear. Then you hit verify
>pick house numbers
repeat
>pick trees
repeat
>pick trees
repeat
It's never satisfied. You can get them correct all you want, it still requires you to click 20+ images. Like I said though, /qa/ is fine, I just picked 3 statues and verified it right away.
>>509351
21/21
>>509352
I've gotten extended my streak to 30/30 just in this time span.
>>509351
Are you on a phone?
This has me on a near constantly loop of "Click all the things, they disappear, and new ones appear you have to click on" and "Please select more, do it all over again" almost every post lately.
I have to do it seven or eight times for each post before its finally had enough. Its not even that I'm doing the solutions wrong, it just decides I haven't done enough of them yet.
Its basically every post I have to keep solving captchas repeatedly before it finally accepts one.
>>509400
Same problem
[spoiler]took like 5 minutes to post this due to it[/spoiler]
I can't use the non-legacy recaptcha in Chrome Version 51.0.2704.22. When I select to use legacy recaptcha it only works in the quick reply window, so essentially I can't post any threads in Chrome, been like this for a few months now with and without any extensions disabled.
I keep getting only three types of captcha now- rivers, street numbers and street signs. Rivers and numbers NEVER work, so I just refresh till I get signs. These 3 repeat constantly, with rivers and numbers showing mostly.
I'm mobile posting and on a different network right now though so it might be different when I get home
>>509400
ditto
>>509400
Same experience for me. Plus the Captcha pops up automatically which makes the reply field loose focus.
It doesn't really make sense to solve the Captcha before writing your post.
>>499794
why can't 4chan bargain against google?
they need this site to test their shit
dev just remove the google captchas
no one likes them and they are broken as fuck
>>510779
>i don't like them and they don't work for me
ftfy
>>510779
And which captcha's do you suggest.
Do you pick secure captcha with a few minor bugs.
Or do you pick old captcha with indecipherable numbers.
>>510779
by the way.... my success streak is now probably at 37 of 37.
I hit Report throttling last night and the last twenty or so catchpas were 5+ verification with 3/5 being "select x until none remain". When are the developers going to revamp the report system to something more objective requiring a selection of which rule the violating content breaks? Relying on the objectivity of your volunteer moderation staff to suss out the nebulous reason behind a report is a shit way of handling the sheer volume they receive and would produce clear grounds for moderating classified/fraudulent reports.
>>499794
If you aren't willing to disable phone posting, can you at least make the post cooldown timer much longer for them?
