Title: captcha thingy on every post - does it ever end?
Post by: abby on April 02, 2013, 10:41 pm
Is that captcha thing only for while where trapped in the newbie forum or does every poster have to do it for every post, even out on the rest of the forums?

Once you get to 100 posts the captcha disappears.

I will give them credit - the captcha that SR uses is easy to read.

@mayhem15
I'm trying!! it goes against the grain to have post such drivel in those threads just to get out of the cage but at least after that I know there'll eventually be an end to the captcha, which will cheer me up no end. 

@cantharidin
It's tripped me a couple of times so far, I hate it when technology is smarter than I am. :(

There are way harder captchas out there than what SR uses. Maybe they're easier for me since I'm far more experienced on SR than you.  24-18 in post count!

Oops, make that 25-18.

Once I hot 50, I'll probably never post again...

I have to say I'm probably going to be the same.  As I'm hanging around here I keep seeing posts I want to reply to but can't and I'll lay bets once I can I won't but it will be nice to have the option.

Crap - I get a little sleep and next thing I know it's 28-23.

yep, I'm catching you!  Although I've seen snails race faster than this.  In a little while I'm going to try getting this gpg thing working and I'm expecting it to give me grief so I'll probably outstrip you just from my pleas for help.

The most annoying thing is that the scammer bots posting drivel like "buy 50 BTC for $25- 100% safe", which the Capcha is supposed to prevent, still frigging well get in anyway!
Title: Re: captcha thingy on every post - does it ever end?
Post by: abby on April 03, 2013, 03:21 pm
I know, I think it's the one dude who has managed to work around the verification and just keeps creating accounts, since the message is the same.  I can imagine how crap it must've been when there wasn't a captcha.

Yeah, I'm with cantharidin, feeling that once I hit 50 I'm never posting again! Doesn't matter though, here we go!

Actually, I've enjoyed getting involved in this community and I'm having fun doing a little posting. I hope I continue to have fun after I hit 50, but I suspect that, like most things (except weed), the novelty will wear off. I guess that's why they can sell lots of weed on SR but probably couldn't do to well selling posting rights.

I've hung out on a few forums down the years and I suspect that this will be the same as them.  If you find there's a group of posters you like to engage with or the topics you see are engaging you'll stay. otherwise it will just become another resource and you'll only come in here when you need some info.

It's certainly an interesting timesink. I'm glad I've been sitting home with a cold this week ;)

*envy* I have picked out my list of goodies but until I'm sure I'm good to go I'm not transferring anything in.  I'm almost there I think, I'm just waiting for someone to answer my questions in that gpg sticky and then I think I'm good to go. I am displaying a patience here that surprises even me!

Just go to iGolder and you can do all of your PGP online.

https://www.igolder.com/pgp/generate-key/

I did two small orders - one form Rose's Garden which appears to be working great (fingers crossed) and one from NiceDeal. Nice Deal never responded so after 5 days I messaged and they never responded to that, so I canceled. Maybe they don't like newbies, but I was not impressed...

I have the key and the lovely rasalhague sent me a test message but tbh I'm so crap at this I'm not too sure if I've done the return message right or not, so I'm hoping he'll come back on line sometime in the next couple of days to tell me (I'm hoping he hasn't got bored in the cage and has wandered off)

My first purchase is going to be some quick and easy lottery entries, some mushroom chocolates and then I have my eye on some shortcake from DrNoName but unfortunately he doesn't sell to newbies until they've got 5 purchases so I'm going to have to cheat with the lottery tickets :(  After that my current stash of smokeables should be gone and I'll start looking around.  I'm loving the idea of a smorgasbord :)

I just found the thread again and had a look and you've made my day *hugs*  except I still don't know if I created the response properly.  *In theory* it's too simple to cock up but we all know what assumptions do to people ;)

I have been trying for the last 20 minutes to post this and either the captcha expires or it tells me someone else has posted and when I repost it, it tells me the fucking captcha has expired! grrrr

will go get a clean version of my key now - that was how it pasted out of the .asc backup file
