Does anyone else hate the captcha?

#21
When it comes to captcha, I am afraid that it can be too difficult for beginers and then they can not discuss on the forum.
This would be very bad, because the beginers especially need advices from advanced players. If captcha is used to avoiding
spam, maybe instead of them it is enough to use a good anti-spam program?

and what do you think that someone who cant find a M1 is able to contribute to a forum thread?

i am VERY anti-elitist (almost by nature) but seriously, you cant be serious.

Actually, I love the chess mate puzzle capcha. Those picture based puzzles are constantly frustrating.

On the contrary I think the CAPTCHA should be much harder to solve because it might help weed out the kids that refuse to do their own research.. It's like they never heard of Google and post the most asinine questions and redundant tripe, just because they can.

Instead of lingering in the forums, those beginners could be exploring for years the near endless resources available on lIchess instead of asking for your favorite colour of chess boards.

Most are ez. Once a captcha stumped me and I had to use the help link (given beside the captcha) but usually they are pretty obvi.

I don't feel it annoying because I know how to checkmate your opponent in 1 move.
