CAPTCHA added to our Community

Hi Community,

 

We are in the process of adding CAPTCHA verification at a few different points of our Community. The reason we are doing this is we were seeing some ‘bot’ automated registrations and want to ensure the Community remains free from spam (and potentially worse).

 

You’ll see CAPTCHA verification;

  • when creating a user account.
  • when creating or replying to a post or sending a PM if you hold ‘New in Town’ or a ‘New Neighbour’ ranks within the Community.

 

If you do see or receive spam, or think something just isn’t right, please let us know and we’ll do our best to fix it.

 

We’d also like to thank our Community Mayor @Martin for his assistance with this.

 

Thanks,

 

Jeremy

Personally I never enjoyed filling out captchas on forums, but in this instance if it's better for the community and prevents any sort of spam in the future I say bring it on! The community has been great thus far though, I haven't noticed any spam messages. 😃

This feature would certainly be very useful. Good job PM!

Hi @Jeremy_M!  

 

Good to know that PM and you are continuing to think and act to make this a better experience.

 

I am honestly here for the comments that followed...:D  

thanks @Martin @youbme @Luddite

@Martin @youbme It is not often I am recognized for the ancient that I am. I make every effort to appear young to allay your species hope for extending lifespan given its inability to master even the care of this planet. 

 

As far as age goes I can tell you that this present epoque is quite wonderrful for its variety of flora and fauna suitable for sustenance. I can still just remember the time when the only suitable protein were Gondwanascorpio emzantsiensis, and I can tell you they were tricky devils to catch and eat.

 

Hang in there; better times may be coming

 

Keep up the good work.

Hi @Jeremy_M. How you? I am doing awesome. Public Mobile has so far proven to be consistently awesome. I hope PM continues to do more.  At least PM is kicking, lifting off to the stars, and even the moon. so, how is the public lab doing? the lab is certainly growing, and filling to the brim, I wonder which ones will make it to, as Bob Barker would say, the next showcase, lol.

Hi @Jeremy_M,

I hope you realize that your selfie will put to rest rumors that you're a bot, because you're now confirming them.

I must tell you that I'm a CBS (Certified Bot Spotter), and that's why I told Mansi that you were one.

Hi @youbme,

Frankly, I've often wondered if @Luddite is of human origin.

When @Luddite first told me his age, I didn't believe him because no one could have been that old. When he continued by describing, in detail, flora and fauna from the Jurassic Period, I, of course, was incredulous. I initially pegged him as someone who had spent too much time immersed in books and videos about that period. After I gave @Luddite a colander to wear, and noticing that he needed no instructions, including how to tweak it for maximal operation, I slowly arrived at the conclusion that @Luddite was of alien origin. For instance, when I introduced him to Sue and Bob, he knew the secret handshake without my telling him about it.

Can robots and humans find peace and harmony? I believe so. There are constant rumors that @Jeremy_M is a bot. I don't know if he is or isn't, but I very much enjoy interacting with him. The same can be said about @Luddite. Even though I believe that he's an alien, he's a very personable one.

As for asking Sue and Bob, they're preoccupied with Donald Trump. They believe that there's a possibility that he was one of the first group of humans to wear colanders. Unfortunately, there was a defect in them, leading to extreme behaviour. From all indications, Donald was definitely in that group, as far as I'm concerned.

@Martin, all I can say is the advanced cognitive behaviour displayed by you and @Luddite raise a few questions... Can't robots and humans find peace and harmony? Maybe Sue and Bob can provide some insight to the matter. I need to pick up a new colander, I think mine is fried.

Hi @youbme,

I was wearing my inverted colander, and "advanced droids", in your 2:53 pm ET post, was interpreted as @Luddite and I. 😞 😞

Good job, pretty much everywhere Captcha is there...

 

Thanks for implementing...

Hi @Jeremy,

You're welcome.

Hi @Jeremy_M,

 

This is excellent news. As the community grows, the security of the forums will continue to be a significant concern. CAPTCHA should be a good first step to minimise the activity of bots...except for the advanced droids that hang out on the forum Robot Happy
