Journal the_mad_poster's Journal: Breaking CAPTCHA: Please Hold [Edit x2] 27
EDIT: It has come to my attention that not everyone receives a CAPTCHA request. I believe this is users with Excellent karma. Can anyone confirm?
EDIT 2: I have three confirmations from +2 posters that they did not get CAPTCHA requests. I have accounts with Terrible, neutral, positive, and good karma, plus AC. All received CAPTCHA.
That's okay. We're still working on cracking the new CAPTCHA. The source will be released. Crapflooder, please stand by. The upgraded shitstorm.pl script will also be released to gh-sts.com and, possible, sourceforge. If this account is anonymized the way sllort's was, the URL will be:
http://www.gh-sts.com/shitstorm2.pl
To find the code in Google, search for the phrase
"shitstorm reloaded".

I just checked with a fairly new user with only 'Positive' karma and she's now getting them, yet didn't a few days ago.

Oddly (slashdot bug maybe?) I don't always get them when posting a reply.
Just wait around long enough, you'll see one sooner or later.

Maybe your karma is good enough that you won't seem them.

Then again I've never posted in main page stories very much, and don't read them much anymore.

My karma is listed as good.
This is just ghey IMO.
I was about to ask what this solves but I know the answer already.
Oh. Nice. So now not only do we haev the inconvience of typing in the captcha, the flood protection is still in its two minute effect. Weee.

So all the captcha does is penalize those of us who are "good" users.
The couple times I have posted trollish comments they've been AC.
Most of the time I dont' visit the main page, so I don't do that much.
Stupid crap, oh well. It'd be nice if I didn't have to enter one every time I posted though.
Also Excellent karma (Score:2)
No CAPTCHA.
excelent karma rocks. (Score:1)
none of the capatchas but then again my account is also a low uid... but we're going to assume it checks karma not uid.

Clear your slashdot cookie (or logout), then try to post.
