Just about everything this account posts is one or more random lines from somewhere prior in the same thread. So much for it being hard for a bot to satisfy forum activity requirements.


Point being: it was fairly obvious to anyone watching. And they did have to solve the captchas to actually break into the Recruits group.

I was sort of being sarcastic about how well it was passing, but you could write one that posted a properly formatted line each day (or every 30 days) to a random one of the following threads,
Token of Blood
Shrine Offerings
How close are you to your next level up?
Artifacts, what did you get?, how often?
What did you do today?
What's the last thing you've eaten?
and nobody would notice. At the least, users who no longer need to solve captchas to post can automate their posting from then on, and some of them probably already are. To keep a botnet of 1,000 accounts reaping dawn credits would only require hiding ~33 bot posts per day; divided among just 6 spam threads, that would only be adding 5.6 posts per thread per day. Even that might pass.

There's already a captcha for the first few posts.

Do they have ponies in them?

Definitely: text recognition captchas are useless now that some websites provide community solving for free (or at least, for no money). But PONIES™ can't be cracked that way (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's not "useless", as it still adds to the cost. PONIES™ on the other hand can be solved correctly 25% of the time just by a random guess, so it's not suitable as *that* kind of anti-bot mechanism.

Now, if I added in forty or fifty more ponies, then maybe...

A little bit off topic, is there a new power level adjustment just today?

I see my suggestion number is degraded a lot from 21 to 18

====

edit

0.29.4 - 2014-01-01

- The formula for moderation power has been modified. Karma is no longer used; instead, a performance metric based on accuracy of tagging has been added. This uses your tagging history to calculate a score based on how many tags you have added that ended up being valid or not, as well as how many tags you voted for/against that ended up being valid or not. (Read more here.)

- Added a readout for moderation power as well as each individual factor under My Home

- Some of the donation tiers now get slightly more Hath per day. Silver now gets 1 Hath, and all tiers from Gold through Catgirl were boosted by +2.


---

Shit goes real I think, okay I'm totally out of here. It's time for me to find a new life.

This totally subjective and there would be power abuse as soon as possible.

Good luck

Lolwut, I don't see how you find this subjective. Karma power was subjective, the idea of tagging power is to make it objective....

The cost is very low, especially here, if you need to solve these captchas only for the first posts. Maybe they still block script kiddies though.

Right, I forgot lucky guesses are almost impossible with text recognition captchas.

Well, no matter how many ponies you add in, as long as you only offer 4 choices, the lucky guess probability won't change (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well, obviously you'd have to type in the name of the pony instead of choosing from a list. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Quick question, are there any ponies with accent marks in their names with regards to the traditional series?

Well, Show a colored pony. With a cutie mark. And ask users to insert, like, "pink applejack"
You know, I always wanted to see a pink applejack. And probabilities of getting right the color and the pony aren't so high.

(am i in your most stupid ideas ever list?)

Actually, that's not a bad idea, as only bots will be able to spell the names correctly every times, so that's a good way to detect them. Oh, and it would piss off the HV players also, which makes it an ever better idea (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The Indoctrination Room™
A special page members can use once per day, which shows a series of pony captchas, with the set of possible ponies increasing as the total number of sessions completed goes up.

Access to some site features determined by total number of days (e.g. 20, 50, 100, 200...) the Happy Room was completed, and number of times completed in a sliding 30 day window.
