How Often do you Fail to Prove That you are a Human?  | | Well, although the title might sound like it, I'm not actually in a mood to start a morbid discussion surrounding topics like sin, guilt, conscience, karma...you know well enough. Rather, I'm talking about cyberspace where security is the priority and to ensure which, many sites implement CAPTCHA verification to attest that you are indeed a human and not some bot or script. Although I vouch for the CAPTCHAs, they fluster me at times with abstruse words that I fail to prove myself a human despite best efforts. To add fuel to the fire, some sites even have bi-worded CAPTCHAs these days which is but a pain in the neck. To tell you roughly, my success rate with these meaningless words would be around 60-70%, I guess. And even if I really bother to concentrate harder and put more conscious effort on it, I can possibly raise it only by say another 10 to 15 percent.
So guys, tell me about it, do you love CAPTCHAs? So much that you've named your children after them? Or do you abhor them to an extent that you switch the site as soon you realize the need to enter CAPTCHA to post a comment? How often do you succeed with them, at first attempt of course? What's the highest number of trials you've taken to pass through a CAPTCHA? Do you even remember the word(s)? Do speak up!
PS: If you didn't know this, CAPTCHA is a contrived acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart

I_LUV_U (979) | 10 months ago | I think you can avoid the CAPTCHA hassles on trustworthy sites such as myspace by checking the "Remember me" or "keep me logged in" box while logging in. Just make sure you don't delete cookies for these sites, which can be achieved by modifying your privacy settings, so that you are not logged out as you close your browser.

| | 2. naka75 (461) | 10 months ago | It's good to implement Captcha to block out the unwanted bots and scripts, but it has to be done in a way that does not hinder the user experience and convenience of the visitor. After all, visitors want to see what you have to offer, and not to enter Captcha characters. I don't see a need to use double words Captcha, when it can be done by entering numbers. Is there a difference in identifying humans who can enter characters or numbers? No. So I think turing numbers can be used in place of the characters.

I_LUV_U (979) | 10 months ago | Exactly, single worded CAPTCHAs are hard enough as it is, why simply torture us with one more of the same kind. I won't mind entering bi-worded CAPTCHAs but make sure they are not too obscure and abstruse to be gotten right.

| | 3. Aussies2007 (2918) | 10 months ago | My success rate with them is about 50 per cent.
While I don't like them... they have become a necessity against spammers who use bots to do their dirty work.

I_LUV_U (979) | 10 months ago | Yea, better to be sad than be sorry. Although I don't like them, I won't want them to vanish and leave me unprotected either.

| | 4. michaeldadona (3788) | 10 months ago | Evey first attempt absolutely failed and never passed the first given CAPTCHA. Got to re-type the next one, and by percentage for second trial is 70% successful. Meaning that, 3 out of 10 still failed. That's right, lately many sites provided Dwi-CAPTCHAs for their security level reason, they said. From my operating data, seems like I am not a perfect human; 30% robot and 70% human; I think!.

| | 6. joyceshookery (1068) | 10 months ago | Usually I get the CAPTCHA within 2 attempts. If I can't get it I get frustrated and, depending on how much I want to be on the website I leave or try again.

| | 7. mansha (4580) | 10 months ago | Oh I know, I also hate doing so but I guess may be for the site owners its important stuff.I do have a success rae of 80% with them and many times it takes only two attempts to make it corretr. I find them silly and just an hinderance too. I guess there muat be some automated softwares out there too which can break them too as many people say they do make money out of these sites by using such softwares. I get bored with PTC too sonn, as you just keep clicking over and over again and nothing else to do. I wonder howmany people actually read these ads and click the site links too.

| | 9. whyaskq (5099) | 10 months ago | I normally do not fail to prove I am human. The only times when they fail to acknowledge me as a human is when the site is having some issue recognising me. It is a signal that the site is going down... computers do break down too and I hate it then.
