Seriously, can we just get CAPTCHA already?

Short explanation –

for over 2 minutes and still getting nowhere… This is just ridiculous and extremely frustrating.

EDIT / NOTE

As I’m refreshing right NOW, more and more are STILL coming in!

There are multiple threads about this already, please don’t start another one.

Hi.

All the bots you see posting comments have a verified email, have existed for more than a day, and used IP address masking to get past floodchecks. They are highly motivated to do whatever it takes to post comments, because it makes them money on the black market. They will adapt to post CAPTCHAs by hiring human solvers.

We are not ignoring this issue. We’re working on shorter and longer term fixes. That’s all I can say about it at this time.

@buildthomas @Boonite Yeah, I see that now, was unaware of it.

Any staff that can lock this?
