complaint about annoying verification requests
thunderseed:
I've only been here for a few minutes and I am already unimpressed with the god-awful verification and math questions that I have to fill out every time I write a post. This is such an ordeal. I didn't sign up here to do homework.
I probably won't be able to handle this nuisance for much longer.
Do you know that there are better ways to fight against spammers than to turn off forum users through terrible verification requests and constant annoying test questions?

I think it disappears after your 10th post.

i agree with this. do you get so many spammers otherwise?

We're sorry, but at one point we were banning literally 4-5 spammers daily, for several years in a row. Deleting thread, deleting posts, etc. was taking up 10 minutes plus daily for me personally at least. I haven't had to ban a spammer in probably 3-4 months now.
