Allowing the person that writes the answer to submit a link is problematic, IMHO. Of the 3 I tried, 2 said "I love you" and linked to Glenn Beck. I personally dislike Mr. Beck very much, and that alone would keep me from using this on any project.
You are going to run afoul of people just as easily if someone links to Keith Olbermann, or a site about Gay Rights, or kicking out immigrants, or atheism, or the KKK, or [insert inflammatory thing here].
The whole reason for captcha's is so someone can't put arbitrary links on YOUR site, embedding your anti-captcha solution just makes sure they are always in the same place. No thanks, I'll just use ReCaptcha.
- kapauldo 16y agothat link was submitted by an alpha tester. he submitted one of the picture/question challenges, and in exchange, he gets rewarded impressions of his link.
- secret 16y agoI think you missed his/her point though. Captchas should prevent spam, allowing a user to include an arbitrary link that will appear on any random site is not much of an improvement to the site owner.
- kapauldo 16y agoYeah, but this problem already exists on WordPress comments for example. People are free to add whatever link they want with their comments. I don't think a Glen Beck link is spam, (though I do personally think he's a gimmick).
