New registration method

Roph · January 30, 2008, 09:39:30 AM

This has been hindering registrations for too long

RMRK now uses an alternate method to ensure that signups are made by humans. Either a simple sum, naming a shape or typing a color. =)

If a human is stopped by these simple puzzles and is unable to register due to being unable to solve them.. well, I'm not bothered about losing those people

For dark theme users only: If something is broken somewhere now on the dark theme, PM me explaining where x_x I had to change a silly amount of stuff to get it to work -_-

Lovely. 'Cause captcha is stupid.

Yeah, this is easier. Except there might be dumb people that might be cool.

Cool. I agree with your logic.

I just hope a friend of mine who wants to join will be able to solve it. LOL.

If it were a battle of intelligence between you and me, I doubt with all sincerity that anyone would bet their cash on you. ;P

Oh well, the Captcha Minigame was fun for a bit.

Yeah, I know, but I don't qualify as "cool."

I like this new system.

If only I knew how many sides a heptagon had -_- .

I like it, it's a nice idea. Has RMRK had issues with bots before? :x

Kind of. See this post for an example of what was going wrong with the captcha: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,19462.msg261171.html#msg261171

Because of that some people couldn't register, so it was disabled for a while, but obvious bots started to register. So for a while it was a fight between either bots, or a half-working captcha.

This just replaces the captcha ad lets (intelligent enough) humans register fine =)

Ah, I've heard of a lot of people talking about captcha messing up. I wonder if I should look into it.

Good to know you've fixed it.
