"How is testing the Captcha ?


Have not met it yet. bad keyboard keep having to correct every sentence.

Besides is the Captcha not annoying enough to deserve an Entry "

The captcha objects to certain things such as foreign characters, links to Turkish websites and on. This was a test to see if it was the size that was causing the problem. It wasn't. The same entry with real text was rejected. Changing a-z to x allowed it to pass.

"Confirmed, as soon as I find the profanity (?) it tries to catch I will report to you .

Keep writing old friend "

The captcha isn't intended to find profanity. It's to stop robots spamming the site. But it seems to be sensitive to certain subjects such as Turkey, mosque or the letter ü.

"I read (some of) your Journals the last month.

I compare it with profanity as that was some years ago more or less the same problem. Posting pages in half until you had hit the trigger.

By the way I tried dumping some raw wikitalk pages using pliny, got the error-comment some words would not be suitable for this site. removed half the content and ended up with an error page. (continued in brunel). (dont bother reporting am emailing the technical Bobos) ."

Pliny is broken. Don't try editing entries in it. It's quite good for conversations, although it lacks Ripley's ability to post very specific links.
