TMO needs Captcha which sends data to google
 

I am a new user and I have NoScript enabled. Enabling script option for external captcha provider is one thing but enabling script from google dot com for the captcha is sad. :(

Added to all that the image captcha is so previous century. Can't we have decent spam prevention mechanisms?

I am not sure if the community forum is even thinking of upgrades to the forum software but sending google every time a "hello" when I am logged in to post is not in my interest.

I have to add that as a non-logged in user you are kind of forced to login as it needs one more captcha to search for posts. Since I was suggested to create an account to avoid captcha. I was actually surprised to see the captcha again on search page. I was told it was for few first posts. I don't understand the logic controlling search queries on a logged in user :confused:

Welcome!
There are lots of strange things happening around here. I have learned to live with it and so can you :D

What do you suggest we do?

First of all, welcome pavi to TMO.. Check this out to learn more about what's going on and perhaps discuss your problem further: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=49

6 posts in order to avoid CAPTCHa, that's not really that bad, although it would be nice to know why this rule is in effect. :)

Probably because of threads like these:

If the Captcha approach succeeds is keeping an undesirable off would it then be considered a Gotcha...

Re: TMO needs Captcha which sends data to google
 

Doesn't seem like it succeeds, every now and then you get a bunch of spam, even with the captcha, is google sending it?

I come from a different world where life is without captchas once you login. 6 posts seriously?:confused: Added to all that why do you need captcha for searching ?:rolleyes:

What could the logged in Spammers ( who filled the captcha once to create the account and email verified) do with the search option? DDOS the system with search queries?:p

I am new and I shouldn't complain. Seriously I took the pains to create an account can't I at least get to perform search query without filling the damned captcha? It makes a very bad barrier of entry not just for the visitor who quickly wants to find some information but also the logged in user who created the account.

PS: My 2nd post. 4 more captcha's to go. :D

1. 1. Please replace google recaptcha with something non-google. There are many opensource libraries out there which can provide captcha without relying on google:eek: servers/services. ( we live in post 2013 era )
2. 2. Please leave the search querying without captchas atleast for the logged in user. Expecting a reader to make 6 posts is just too unfriendly for newbies.
3. 3. Think of a way to control spam without all this captcha business. There are other platforms which do that successfully. TJC (jolla) for example.

PS: 3rd post, 3 more captchas to go ;)

You are lucky search results aren't being served through email

Re: TMO needs Captcha which sends data to google
 

I think TJC does without captcha because to login you need a jolla account which means you have to have a SFOS device.
There's just not that many spamers who are into jolla :)
