Prototype Bot-Hunter List

Yes, significantly more clear.

[epion04]

Those are reasonable yes.

Now to take AvWolf's Captcha example, merge it with these forgrounds and backgrounds, and do a little masking ^_^

And here's the funny part.... I've never coded in PHP in my life and yet I'll get it done ^_^

[avwolf]

PHP's easy. It has a function to do anything, C/C++-like syntax, and pretty much steals any useful idea from other languages that the developers thought they could implement.

I don't know how bots read those things, but it seems too easy...

[Cryzbl]

(sorry for rezzing, but I really want to say something about this >.<)

How about these two captcha image examples that I made?

On the other had, those are very easily deciphered by a bot. Blur it and increase the contrast. Then use your standard picture->text tools.

The only problem I cannot solve, is how a bot decides which method to use to preprocess an image so it can be more easily deciphered by a program.
Thus the ultimate captcha is just "take a random captcha generator and use that to generate the image".

[Kakurady]

Variations are always desirable with captchas.
Multiple fonts, random distortions, and more...

Hey now, I'm no bot. I just failed to log on for a long time, mostly due to a lack of interest, albeit partially due to hospitalization. But thanks for the label..never been called a Bot before hah.

Well the lists had been generated by my custom program using filters that I coded myself, though as I look through the lists you were on the secondary list which does make mistakes but that is why it's the second list, the primary list I have even checked myself and besides one member listed out of the thousands contained in that list it is a list made up purely of real bots. I'll check the ReturnCode that is next to your name to see why it's in the list anyway.

*Edit* You turned up on the secondary list because your profile had the word "free" in it and you have less than five posts, if you post one more time you won't show up in the lists at all when I run the program next time.
