Live Posted 2010/12/01 at 3:28 PM by Malgayne

reCAPTCHAhttp://i53.tinypic.com/24qu5ip.jpg my Captcha, which I interpreted as "frentlea cf" Surprisingly it actually accepted "frentlea cf" as a correct response and posted my message.
But seriously, what is that? cftvth? cfwth? cfwtb? cnvtb? Well, cf it is then.What do you guys think?

I dislike the current Captcha.Comment by ZatkharI vote yes! I already get ads atop of the site, one or two more while captchaing doesn't make any difference to me :)Comment by TreskolThis would be a much better idea, but only if it isn't an advertisement and the slogan is at the end off it.

If it is just a picture with a slogan, that would be much better.Comment by DM7000I really like this idea. It would make it much easier.Comment by mitgr81if I have to watch an advert I will leave the page and not return.Comment by 504145This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 103069Go ahead and make a few bucks, you can still browse the database without.

Captcha: arkinac addressComment by RanimIt looks like the company will be able to buy space in the "captchas" an example being the Dr pepper, but they could sell it to other companies.

For example Apple iPhone it would show you a picture of it and it would say something like "this changes everything, again"

So you would type that saying and be able to post.

As a marketing student I think this is a fantastic idea not only for wowhead because they can make some money off it, but it also allows posters to be able to understand exactly what to type.

(thumbs up from me!)Comment by krh121791Well, I'm definitely down if its a static image like said above. Also, if it helps ya'll by giving extra money on the side, then I am even more in agreement!Comment by Laurelei212I think it's a wonderful idea. Win Win!Comment by DexsiteI like the idea, my concern is that there will be a limit to the uniqueness of text in the advertisements. Where currently it is randomly generated characters and harder to predict, with the ads it would be slightly easier for bots to figure out wouldn't it? That defeats the purpose of having one at all.Comment by LordGabrielAs long as it isn't video ads, then i'm fine with it.

Captcha: thelders surrenderComment by StagenWhat happens if a user has an advert blocking addon to their browser? AdBlock is a popular extension to Firefox and Chrome and if this form of CAPTCHA is tied with an advertisement site this could cause problems.

If not, I'm all for it.Comment by mattyThat's clever, but to me, it cheapens the site. Why not use alternatives to captchas, like images (e.g., "Click the picture that's a bunny!")?Comment by mjswdrSo I'm assuming the advertisement captchas will replace a small amount of the ads shown while browsing the database? It seems like this would make a lot of people mad, especially if offensive or inappropriate ads were shown.Comment by 567875As long as you dont force me to watch anything sure!
