Seriously.
How many Posts do I have to make before this Thing stops giving me a "I am Human" Confirmation for each and every Post ????

Its annoying the Hell out of me.
No Wonder theres so few People Posting anything when you have to Sign up this thing each and every Post!!!!

I mean come on. I think after having made Some Posts Its clear I am not a Bot lol.
Get rid of this pls!!!!!

We cannot get rid of this. If we did, we might once again fall victim to the army of spambots/spammers advertising some black magic crap with multiple accounts and 40+ threads per day. I can see that you were not here when we fought off this plague. This is basically the only thing we could have done to prevent such scenario from ever repeating again. I understand that you may be frustrated, but I believe you would be far more annoyed by two pages of black magic adverts in general discussion.

Pro Tip.

1.
Disable/Enable it based on Usergroups.
Any People who get Usergroups as Beta Testers and Game owners etc dont need the Botcheck.
I doubt the Spambot will get a new Package each time he is banned.
Thus
Botcheck for Guests and any Accounts that have not linked their Game.

That already solves a bunch annoyed users and worst case you end up banning bots which each bought the game to get their viagra links out :P


2.
For the users that have no usergroup.
Spamblock.
First Post each 2 hours gets a botcheck. After that no checks except see below.

Each topic and post block further posts for 5 minutes.
If the user tries to post again inside that time they get the Botcheck. (And cant post again until they solved it)

This makes you incredible unattractive to bots cuz they get maybe onetopic out and then need attention of an actual human again.
Meaning the person wont bother as he could just as well do each post by hand.


3.
Regular Users above 100 posts can be excempted as well.
No bot owner makes the effort to do 100 posts each time he is banned.



Come on guys
Other Forums dont have Botchecks either and keep out such unwanted guests without annoying their users :P
