The CAPTCHA really cramps your 'instant' style :( It would be great if it had more convenient ways of preventing abuse. Perhaps look at IP/current server load/user agent patterns/etc to give most people the benefit of the doubt, and only fall back to a CAPTCHA in edge cases?
Thinking about it more, just using an easier CAPTCHA would go along way to making it more user friendly. ReCaptha is hard. It usually takes me 2-3 squinting tries to get it right :/
- FriedPickles 13y agoI'm the creator. I didn't want to use a captcha, but had to put one on with all the demand. I'll switch to an easier one, if anyone has any other ideas let me know! Requiring signing in with a google account would also stop abuse, but that seems equally annoying.
- quantumpotato_ 13y agoQueue your e-mail address w/ a CAPTCHA solve
- lucb1e 13y agoThat's not equally annoying, that's a total show stopper for many.
- bifrost 13y agoI don't use google, so yeah, that would stop me :)
- danielsamuels 13y agoWhat about a choice? Either use the slightly more annoying signin with a captcha or the easier signin with a Google account without a captcha.
