Seriously, I've come to agree with those saying it's awful: it's awful.
>half the pieces are ambiguous whether they're filled or not (rooks, queens, bishops)
>so good luck if you get more than one of those and have to try every combination
Like come on look at pic related 1 and tell me which are the full pieces, the two obvious ones are the queen and the diamond in column 1 and 3 in the bottom row, but what about the rest? Why the fuck do I have to reroll 5 times before I get a readable one? And don't even get me started about boards with a dark theme which for some reason applies to the captcha as well, it's like nightmare mode difficulty as the contrast all but goes to heck. And to add insult to injury, it stops working entirely after a few rerolls and the only thing that fixes it is either waiting 10 years or restarting the browser altogether, moreover, sometimes it goes out of sync or whatever and it fails you regardless of whether you do it correctly or not. I've had super ez ones with just 1 piece FAIL even though I was 110% positive it was correct.
I'm not saying don't have a captcha system, but for fuck's sake either fix and improve this one or get one that's not as fucked. it's so unnecessarily tedious it's the main reason I don't post as much and don't ever bother reporting shit, and I'm sure it's the same for many as well since I've seen people complaining about it for years. And fuck off don't give me that "lol le schizo le low IQ" bullshit, I fucking get how it works, it's just that it's literally impossible to complete at times. You're not doing yourself any favors by having this shit in place of say a normal text captcha.
