Subject: I'm not a sodding Robot, alright?
Date Posted: March 26 2017 at 05:12
Really, I'm not.
The new Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart is currently sodding annoying, much more of this and I'll elevate it to pissing annoying and then finally fu*king annoying.

Every time I post I have to identify images containing street signs, trees or storefronts.
How long is this going to go on?

Of course, you're right, I shouldn't have been so hasty in my condemnation of such a wonderful service the ABC warriors at Google are helping us provide: "Every time our CAPTCHAs are solved, that human effort helps digitize text, annotate images, and build machine learning datasets. This in turn helps preserve books, improve maps, and solve hard AI problems". Hopefully they'll soon have enough digitised images of street signs to preserve the Panini Sticker Book of Assorted Traffic Furniture for future generations to marvel at in wonder, thanks to the valiant efforts of Micky and the rest of us.
Now, irony and sarcasm aside, sure I defended Max's use of Goolge Ads and their associated trackers because I can understand the necessity of having to fund this site somehow, but that are transparent and invisible unlike CAPTCHA's which neither bring revenue here nor do they actually deter spammers.

While not an exhaustive test, it whenever I get one it seems to fail the first time and then work on subsequent attempts.
Because of this I endeavour to Ctrl-A/Ctrl-C each post before clicking "Send" so I can reconstruct the post with Ctrl-V if needed. Of course, sometimes I forget so the air turns blue with expletives as yet another post disappears into the ether.

Lol! Seven attempts last night before I got a new suggestion accepted without the 'Access Denied' error wiping it out (I did save it though before my first attempt). And if that wasn't bad enough, I'd forgotten to include the progfreak link. Must have been close on 20 attempts before the edit finally went through. The site is completely broken for me at the moment...and I've tried wiping cookies, clearing the cache, restarting the browser, logging out and back in again - all to no avail. Its just down to pot luck whether or not I'm able to post anything at the moment.
Edit: But this one went thorough first time after solving the captcha! Hallelujah!
Edit 2: But not the edit...it was rejected after a series of about 10 captchas.

So you guys have to do a Captcha just to post in a thread? I didn't have to. Is it just random and occasional?
there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as far as I can tell.

From the sound of some posts of this thread, cigarettes and coffee may well be replaced with baseball bat and knee caps *chuckles*

Well that's the next step Olav
But seriously, what is the effing plan around here? Is the site ever going to be fixed up to standards, or, is it going to just be allowed to decline into a site that barely function technically? It really is past time that this is addressed. People have and continue to put a lot of their time into this site and have to be asking, is the site's performance ever going to be up to snuff?

^ Up to snuff would be a luxury; right now I'd take being able to post without playing tick-tack-toe with a robot-killer. And now my search function is gone-- completely blown.

BTW, I just had to confirm I'm not a robot when updating a band via the admin section (it went through smoothly though).
