I haven’t gotten a captcha for a long time. The account is over 4 years old. However, on my 2 year old alt for uploading pictures and stuff, I do sometimes get captchas. I think you might be onto something.

I’ve never got a captcha for uploading images. My account is also over 4 years old. I don’t think I’ve received it even on an alt created a few months ago.

They do “silent” captchas in the background. You won’t see the captcha, but a captcha request with information about your browser is sent.
I have an alt that is a few weeks old and it has the silent captcha, unlike this account which is 7 years old. It is not your account age most likely. There is a lot of things that go into play though.
Hmmm, I’ve only ever uploaded decals through Opera and Firefox so that is probably why. Those browsers have tracking protection.
I can also confirm this as I sometimes get impossible captcha when logging in, My friends as well tell me that they are also getting captcha puzzles that are too hard for them to solve.
Time to ditch FunCaptcha, Roblox.
Switch to reCaptcha by Google. It’s way more friendly to use and it does a good job with blocking bots.
Stop ignoring this captcha problem. Lots of people have trouble with this, and none of the issues were addressed since this bug report was made.

Roblox used to use reCaptcha, but it was dropped due to bots easily bypassing it. (If I recall correctly.)

In that case, why does the majority of popular websites use reCaptcha instead of FunCaptcha?
PayPal uses reCaptcha, all google services use it and enough other services. The most fun part? They don’t have a big bot issue like Roblox has.
FunCaptcha doesn’t work, the majority of new users are scam bots. Look at the terrible in-game chats of front-page games, all full of bots. Great job, FunCaptcha!
FunCaptcha, specialized in blocking humans and letting bots go though.

It is ultimately pointless discussion to compare captcha solutions if you don’t have objective data to rank them by. Only Roblox can make that value proposition by themselves. For all you know, you could be entirely wrong and FunCaptcha is actually more effective at blocking malicious traffic. Nobody here has the numbers.
I recommend sticking to relevant discussion, about how it impedes your UX, since this is actionable feedback.

Seriously, is this your “solution” for bots?
How is a 6 year old kid supposed to make an account on this way? This captcha has a time limit.
Even I can’t solve it. GG Roblox and Arkose Labs! You’re ruining our UX with these stupid and not-working captchas. They don’t work, your platform is full of scam bots.

Look at the replies on this thread, I didn’t see any positive post about the captcha Roblox uses.
It’s clear that FunCaptcha strongly disturbes our User Experience on Roblox.
I was suggestion other captcha solutions because Roblox has FunCaptcha now for a few years and still doesn’t work (well, some small improvements are made but it still disturbed my and other’s UX).
It’s correct that I don’t have objective data, I was commenting out of frustration and my experience with other captcha solutions (like Google’s reCaptcha).

I got this one too. I had to solve 6 of those in under a minute. That’s ridiculous. How is anybody under 10 supposed to solve? I can’t even solve it that quickly! I’m tired of this. This is terrible. Why not use reCaptcha? Or hCaptcha?

Yesterday, I was trying to buy Robux and I had that same captcha, but half of it was cut off. It was broken. I had to find a way to do it on mobile instead. Even if it was working, I probably wouldn’t be able to do it since it seems pretty hard from these posts.
I’m not saying this is not the case or that I did not read previous responses on the thread. Please read my previous post again, my point is only that it’s pointless to compare to other captcha technologies in terms of effectiveness of stopping malicious traffic.
I’ve had to do an insane amount of captchas due to having a personal VPN on my network, and all I can say is this: why? It’s ludacris, having to select die that add up to 14 or click on cubes with split icons when NOT EVEN THE ENTIRE CUBE HAS SPLIT ICONS (probably a bug but I don’t think I’m allowed to post about bugs anymore lol). It makes me do 5-7 captchas every time, and some of them don’t even make any sense. Like the one with the object and the shadows; some of them have more than one or none at all. I’m honestly disappointed with these new captchas. If I can barely do it as a 16 year old, and have found loads of other people who can barely do it as well, how do you expect roblox’s target audience of kids (like 6-12) to do this? It’s impossible.
Edit: Yeah, maybe it stops scam bots from happening, but at what cost? how is an 8 year old supposed to make an account, and how is he supposed to play? Cant get through captchas = no account = no playing

Captcha doesn’t seem to be stopping bots from creating accounts.

How do I even do this?
I dont get it?
The one where the icon isn’t full, for example in this image, is the first one. This is excessively complicated, though
