Re: [lojban] No more CAPTCHAs in the Wiki for verified users, please!



This is interesting. No one complained so...
In fact logged in user shouldnt see any captcha because now every account creation request has to be approved by administrators of whom I know myself, Tsani, Selpahi.

I disabled ReCaptcha extension. Please check again. I hope ConfirmAccount extension will be enough to stop zombi from coming through.

I can understand that you have to have a CAPTCHA system to keep the
bots out but why, oh why do you have to force a CAPTCHA for _every
single fucking edit_ for _registered_ users who have proven a thausand
times that they’re human? Editing the wiki is not fun this way. :-(

Please change the CAPTCHA policy of the wiki. I suggest to use the
CAPTCHA only for unregistered users and in the registration process
itself. Still some bots may slip through so you could build in a human
verification. New registered users are considered “unverified” until a
human gives the OK. In “unverified” state, CAPTCHAs still have to be
solved but after this state has been lifted, no more CAPTCHAs. Bots may
outsmart CAPTCHAs but not humans.
