Reducing the number of capchas will inevitably increase the amount of spam that moderators then have to deal with, it's not really something we can change. Just note this: I don't think anybody thinks you're just wrong, it annoys everybody (more or less), it is annoying. It's just a) not SE's fault, but the spammers', and b) not an easily solvable problem. I know that's a dead-end conclusion. :) | |

| Feb 14, 2011 at 13:32 | comment | added | user unknown | While your answer is very informative, I'm not happy about some answers. I created an account and didn't start spamming, but use it regularly. Why isn't that a captcha enough? I need a level of 5k for things to get better? Do real spammers work to a reputation of 1k, or 200 or what, and then start spamming? You're kidding? And I allways thought spam was a mass action, only interesting if the spam is out in few seconds - better millisconds. 40 Minutes? Where may I complain? | |
