Please get rid of CAPTCHA
I've got to say, it is absolutely awful. Most of the time it keeps saying cannot connect, or please try again, or try again later, or completely stops. It's driving me crackers! It took nearly twenty minutes for me to send a message one day! And ten minutes earlier to post a request. And what's with the double, triple and even quadruple posting?! Please get rid of it.
Guess what? It's saying cannot connect. Grrrrrr

*two minutes later*
OH, JUST POST!

*another two minutes later*
No, I do not want to try again later!

*yet another few minutes later*
YES! FINALLY!

Tbh the entire world needs to get rid of recaptcha. It's such a poor system with a robot that can't tell the difference between things most of the time, and then tells you you're wrong. Also I'd like to avoid Google products, and recaptcha is making this impossible.
There are some websites I avoid because it takes a couple of minutes to get through the recaptcha and I really can't be bothered to use such an user-unfriendly feature. I'm glad that this forum uses a less strict one that's just 'check the box' most of the time.
You guys wanna know a secrect? I never have to fill out a CAPTCHA....
WHAT?!?!??!?!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just made my forum account quite recently and the captcha hasn't been a problem, but it seems the more posts I make the worse and longer to complete it gets, it's almost as if the captcha is thinking "Wait this computer has filled out this captcha alot of times? WHAT IF ITS A ROBOT TRYING TO SPAM OR BUY TICKET OR SOMETING?!?!! FIRE EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT MEN WE GOTTA CONFIRM THIS ISNT A ROBOT!!!! HEY ROBOT FIND THESE CARS N STREET LAMPS N BICYCLES AND FIND WHERE I LEFT MY COMMON SENSE CAUSE I LOST THAT TOO"
Luckily it currently only takes 1-2 minutes for me... so far
Wait... I just realized, there is no way they make all these captchas by hand and have just a bunch of people grabbing random screenshots of google maps, which means..... In order for a captcha to exist said captcha must be solvable by a robot
It makes sense that AI will be able to solve captchas in the future as long as we keep solving those captchas as a means to train them! (looking forward to this) A huge reason for captcha's existence is to train AI to recognise things, and we're helping by basically verifying what the AI thinks is say, 'a car' or 'not a car'. Soon enough we'll be able to use bots to solve questions made by bots. It's some beautiful irony.
Unfortunately, they forgot about the fact that the AI can be wrong and there's no way to correct the bot whenever it tells me a caravan is a bus again. Sometimes I feed it false info on purpose because I'm petty.
I actually agrer, I have my roleplays and it's irritating to post, and someone replies to my character causing me to go back and edit to reply, not to mention me filling out forms, sending PMs and everything. GO AWAY CAPTCHA NOBODY LIKES YOU!!!!
I just deliberately missed a traffic light and it said I could post. Yet on the next one I got them all and said it was wrong.
HOLD UP.
I NEVER have to pick cars or stoplights. I just CLICK the little square box and KABLAMM. reCaptcha 0, me 1. I feel so sorry for the people who have to use their brains to pick cars and stoplights and lose their sanity because of it. So, GO AWAY reCaptcha! You're making my friends go more crazy!
used to be the same exact thing for me, but it seems like the more posts you make, the longer the captchas take
WHAT?!! Oh my goodness, that's like heaven for me!! reCAPTCHA asks me to click on several squares FOR OVER FIVE MINUTES OR MORE, and then tells me, "Nope! That ain't part of the car!"

WHADYA MEAN THE WINDOWS AREN'T PART OF THE CAR!? Well shoot! Here I was thinking the front seats of the structure wasn't part of the car! Guess they're just leather components glued firmly onto the sides of the car, but being inside of the car doesn't make them PART OF the car
...reCAPTCHA can go eat the dirty car seats and windows for all I care
I like the fact that you said more crazy.
Pro tip: (Not that I'm a pro at anything)
If you have a Google account, and it's logged in, the ReCAPTCHA functions like a basic checkbox. Click, and you're good to go!
How do you get a Google account?
You might want to look that up on Google. You'd probably find more useful info that I can give. 
Works without a logged-in Google account as well. I think it mostly depends on whether you're considered to be 'suspicious' or not, but I don't know what's considered to be suspicious behaviour.
I am signed in to a google account...
Im on a chromebook by lenovo so basically you log in to your computer with your google account and yeah
I absolutely agree with this. It doesn't do the job it's supposed to, which is prevent spam from being posted, and it's super, super annoying so it just needs to be done away with. I honestly liked the old captcha better than this one. They used to have it where you typed in numbers or words that you saw and that was it. Most of the time I got it in one try. This new captcha? Yeah, good luck with that. It can take me several tries before it will finally say I got it right and check the box and even then it sometimes takes forever to post my comment and sometimes it even says "Verification expired" before it posts which forces me to open a new tab and go to the forum to check if it actually posted or not to avoid double posts. I was actually locked out of using my forum account for several hours once because the captcha kept saying that I got it wrong and then it finally said that my computer might be sending spam and to try again later. Captcha is so frustrating and useless that they just need to remove it.
Hey, shall we start a campaign in our siggys to get rid of CAPTCHA?
I think that could be a good idea, but something else would have to be put in place to avoid spam...
TinyPic uses a thing where you have to write a word that is shown, it works quite well.
We'll need a logo if we do a campaign.
We'll need a logo if we do a campaign.
I can work on that.
Edit: I couldn't do a logo, but I made banners!
sorry if the links don't work.
CAPTCHA isn't really a problem for the first 10 or 15 posts I do but it tends to get worst as I contiune to post. I think the worst is when I had to do it 3 times. But i 100% agree, I know it's suppose to prevent spam and robots but still I ain't a robot. Plus it can drive people crazy I know I once got a headache from trying to solve the CAPTCHA when I wrote like 2 to 3 paragraphs for the roleplay I'm in and when writing my backstories for the forms I filled out (and why I stopped writing the backstories since CAPTCHA drives me nuts) so yup that is why I agree about removing CAPTCHA.
We're too late... they're learning.

Oh dear.
ROBOTS WILL TAKE OVER!!!
To those who are saying it becomes harder the more you post: That's untrue. The rate of posting has nothing to do with whether you're considered to be suspicious or not, unless you're posting at inhuman speeds.
ETA: Get the Buster extension if you're tired of Google forcing you to work for free and wasting your time. Very useful extension that'll usually solve sound captchas for you.
Interesting. For me, the quickest way for me to post isn't waiting. What I do is I click the "I'm not a robot" thing, click save once, wait 5 seconds, click it again twice, then the system will say that a reuse abuse thing whatnot was detected and for me to redo the captcha, I go back to the thread, and bam my reply is there xd. HM.
Sometimes it makes me find street lights and sometimes not. Also, a telephone pole is NOT a street light! CAPACHA is not doing it's job well.
Ugh, I got that too. Does IT even know?

I can't even check the box most of the time, it'll just keep coming up with an excuse for not checking it.
