Site Security Code

[Gallo]

I can see perfectly fine and it still takes me 2 - 3 times to get in. I just make sure I have my log in saved and it doesnt seem to log me out ever.

I think that he's color blind man. Thats why he can't see it easy like you.

I’m not color blind. I can see colors. However they appear different for me then they do to others. Here’s a site that provides visuals on how things appear differently to those with a Color Deficiency http://webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/2.html#vissamp. That’s a pretty nice presentation on how things look different.

I checked the site out... see, you are colorblind. I know that it is a common misconception that "colorblind" people see in Black & White. I know that is not how it works. Great site for showing people though. Do you have problems with Traffic signals? I know that my friend had trouble learning the green and red lights.

Learning colors as a color blind person is just learning the alphabet in a different language. They can point to most colors and identify it. It appears different then you but was learned in the same way. The colors I struggle with most colors, my worst are green, gold, silver and red. Unless there’s an extreme difference in color shades I normally can’t pick them up. Orange vs. red, normally. Light red vs. dark red, not a chance in hell. Apply that to a security code deal, with letters and numbers with the same color as the background only in a different shade, and then it’s invisible.

Edit: I'm fine with traffic lights, that's interesting however hehe poor guy.

I like you Brad and I want you to be able to contribute. What I don't want is to have to delete a million spam comments per day. I am sure there is a better solution out there. The only question is how to implement it such that it includes 100% of users we want while blocking 100% of the ones we don't. No easy task.

Unfortunately, for the time being, I would suggest pasting the image and tweaking the colors until it becomes readable. In the mean time, will ask and see if we can find a better, non color sensitive method of preventing spam users.

Xzin,

I pretty much figured it wouldn’t be changed. I mean coming from the majority point of view its fine, affective what you need it for. I understand where most are coming from and that’s fair. Plus I think I hate spam just as much as the next guy. No worries nothing personal, I know. :P

I had to say something because with my disability it’s that much of a feat for me to get on here without the help of others. In time maybe a different or even better system might be found. Until then I will continue to steer all Dual-boxing fans that contact me to the community as even with the *cough flaws hehe, it’s unmatched with quality because of the community.
/salute :thumbup:

on a side note bradster, i just watched my first 2 episodes of dexter yesterday, great show!

[PyrostasisTDK]

is there a way to set up the question stuff? I have seen many forums recently ask questions like "Whats 2 + 2?" or "What game do we play?" etc

Xzin, I have to ask though, why is it required for logging in? Shouldn't it be only required for setting up a new account?

Hello

If at all possible I'd really appreciate if the site could find some other security code verification when signing on to the site. What I am referring to is the color box with Letter and numbers you must type in. Its purpose to protect from Web spiders and such.

For those like me with a color deficiency it's almost impossible.. The other day after cycling the images trying to make out one I failed six times and gave up. It's not the first time I struggled so much that it became too frustrating to logon. I used to post a lot, but since the change I rarely visit.I’m unable to logon because I can’t see the letters or numbers in the security codes. For all those I didn’t reply back to in PM’s it was nothing personal. I just can’t normally login. Today I had a co-worker help me. It's just too much ;(


Thanks

Completely agree with this, CAPTCHA sucks.While I don't have any problem with colors, I do have very bad eyes, and I face the exact same problem as you do with CAPTCHA. Even the problem you describe below, with moving the camera to see icons, I have the same problem. I really hope we can basish CAPTCHA from the login, why is it there anyway? On the registration I can understand, but why on the login?

[Xzin]

Well, CAPTCHAs can be broken so making it as hard (for the time being) for spammers to join would be the goal.

Why not a system that askes you questions about the implicit properties of an object? Something a computer would not know but a basic English speaker would know?

Nonsensical stuff that a computer can't just parse or memorize a list of and answer (at least for a few years).

What is the color of sadness? (Blue)
What does the A stand for in EULA? (Agreement)
What is the flavor or sweat? (Salty)
What is the worst class in WoW? (Paladin)
Complete the sentence: World of _____. (Warcraft)
Complete the word: Mul(__)boxing. (ti)

Etc..... :whistling:
