Says it in the post. Submit a flag with a reason of ‘Wanting To Delete It’. Works for me.

#128

I’m gonna update this topic with a fresh new edition

#129

There are 120+ replies on this topic of people arguing. There is simply no point.

#130

Still though, im gonna update this with a fresh new one. There is a system called Flags.

#131

Your clearly missing something I said…

I’m not going to reply anymore and conclude this topic as a waste of time.

Can you please tell us why it is discounted? What is the price of it?

#133

It was discounted because mass people are starting arugements and someone showed a way to bypass this, and the captcha slows users down.

#134

I guess that’s a reason to discount this, but it didn’t cost anything to begin with.

#135

you cant copyright an open sourced module :skull:

#136

This is how botnets happen.

  1. Over the course of many days or weeks, you join accounts to the game and solve captchas for them.
  2. You build up a cache of many many accounts that do not have to solve the captcha challenge anymore.
  3. You eventually join them all to the game at the same time and do evil things.

You can. In fact, every open sourced work is copyrighted by default. Created a repository on GitHub? Copyrighted. Published some cool images on social media? Copyrighted. Basically, open sourced + copyrighted means that anyone can see its source, but modification and distribution can only be done in accordance with the license.

I intend to use captcha for vote kicking. Not only will this prevent a lot of false positives, it’ll also prevent bot attacks and take much stress away from moderation.

#139

You probably meant “discontinued”. A discount is a different thing, it happens when you lower the price of a paid product. The title as of right now is misleading as it makes it look like this costs Robux or something like that, which is against the rules of the category (Could be an implicit statement, but if the rules are taken literally, it’s OK. Why am I complaining about a typo that can be fixed instantly? I don’t know).

The trick here is reinventing the captcha to accept a random number on server side, and configure the local captcha to generate from server seeds

#141

You don’t know what open source means. What you’re referring to is called “source-available”, where you have permission to see the source, but not to modify it, redistribute it, claim it as your own etc etc. Open source gives you all of those rights and more. You cannot call something open-source if it is only source-available.

Can you please clarify how this would help against swarms of bots that have all already solved thair captcha? Any way of only showing the captcha once would be vulnerable to this attack.

#142

The captcha shouldn’t use a set of images, because that gives us a finite number of solutions. Obfuscated text that an AI can’t read!

#143

A real person solves each captcha the first time, so this won’t work.

#144

That’s a good point, but there’s ways to defeat a turing AI!

#145

Sorry for the misinformation there, I just looked at Wikipedia and was surprised. Doesn’t change the fact that open sourced work can be/is copyrighted though. I edited that sentence so it’s correct now (I think?).
