Pick all the store fronts... I'm seeing blurry little foreign places. The stores and houses look the same half the time... And the street signs... Sometimes they go off into the side of another square, but they don't want you to click the square, and other times they do! They make you revalidate if you don't click on the metal posts holding it up, but sometimes I'm not supposed to click those.
I don't see the need for such complication on a captcha....

Agreed..it can sometimes get a little extreme
-
Yes, those sign ones have giving me headaches several times (mostly whether to click on the sign post as well as the sign). I'd rather do the captcha where you retype the numbers / word that is in a picture.
-
Yes they are on every survey every site. To make sure your not a robot ok .I get many wrong its hard and stupid.
-
I get them wrong most of the time, wish they would use something else.
-
Yes, they can be hard to determine sometimes.
-
Sometimes they can be confusing to figure out
-
Frustrating sometimes.
-
i agree they get a little frustrating but i guess that is to make sure we are who we are !! i just like them cause you get either 3 or 5 cents with most of them which it is awesome to me --

It is to make sure you are a real person.

FusionCash: What happened? Why we have all those captchas?
-
These captchas appear in almost every survey. They are weird but want to make sure we're humans taking a survey.

I agree, I am so sick of them and then when you put the wrong password in my mistake, it just becomes one big nightmare. >:( >:( >:( :BangHead:

I totally hear you! I did a captcha the other day which required a click on the squares with street signs, but the perimeter of the street sign went into a new square and I wasn't sure wether I should be clicking on it or not. I did click on it, and then I was asked to click on all squares with shop front windows (so I assumed I needn't have clicked on the street sign perimeter in a separate square). Some of the shop windows didn't look like actual "store" windows, more like factory windows, so I didn't click. I guess that's the point though. How you interpret a picture is something only a person can do, not a computer.

It's to make sure you are a human taking the survey and not a computer program. It's a deterrent to prevent anyone from using technology to skew the survey results.

The question is not why do we have captcha, but rather why such complication in the captcha... As I mentioned, there are other captcha questions that are not so complicated and subjective, like asking the person to type in the letters / numbers found on a photograph. I've sometimes been fed up with the visual captchas that I'll do the audio one instead. Those tend to be easier to complete and are not so subjective as to what you are to enter in.

To me, they don't seem all that difficult, but it's very annoying that there are so many people using bots instead of taking the time to help out the researchers. Sad commentary.
The innocents always have to pay for the baddies. Take something good and make it bad. That's why I always get searched when I fly. They pick out the safest people I'm thinkin'.
:fish:

Sometimes they are hard to figure out especially the street signs. You have to make sure you select every little thing about the sign.

That also answers the complication factor - for example, if Google can teach robots to communicate to one another in an encrypted code no one can break (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.06918v1.pdf), not even the designated decipher bot, and this program were to then be used and abused by a company in some way to skew results (not to mention the more terrifying implications this has for others who could get a hold of it and abuse it), then CAPTCHA creators have to compensate and make sure these bots have as little chance as solving it as possible while still attempting to maintain an ease of access for humans.
Granted that's an extreme scenario, and also highly unlikely to happen (at least not in the very near future), but situations in which bots become programmable to be able to "think" and "reason" like a human are why security measures online become increasingly difficult.

Some of them are just plain hard to read. I'd rather pick images of store fronts than input hard to read "sayings."
-
man i hate those dang things!!!!!!!!! :bad: :bad:
-
They are confusing sometimes.
-
When i cannot see the signs or some other crazy thing I use the audio on it. Give you numbers to type in and works really well.
-
I just keep refreshing the captcha until I find a clear one. If they keep getting unclear, I switch to audio.. Never had a problem using that option
-
Those captchas are suppose to be another leg of security for people to use because of all the scams going on. They can be a pain.
-
Sometimes they seem overly complicated, but I understand the need.
-
I have a lot of trouble with the street signs ones. Sometimes they want just the sign part, others they want the sign and the post...it's hard to tell what to click.
