I do on my phone. No, it's not difficult but it is annoying.
I'm glad something will be done about the spam, but having to verify every.single.post. seems excessive to say the least. It seems like something like requiring an introduction post or requiring a certain number of posts before the verification stops would be much more user friendly and still cut back on the spam significantly. <--That was a construction suggestion for those following along at home.

As annoying as it is, it seems to be helping!
I've only deleted 3 spam threads this evening.......and look down at the 'currently active users' When is the last time you've seen that list so small? Seriously!
I don't care much for these recaptchas, but hopefully it won't be set up like this forever and it's seems to be slowing down the spam for now!

It may be a pain in the patootie--but at least halting the spam is a step in the right direction!

Any word on why our spam is that bad?
Traffic is fairly low compared to some sites with less spam. Some of them have fairly simple registration too. I know old software, but it did have a registration captcha.
Part of the problem is recaptcha itself. The second word tends to be gibberish because of how it works. Its pulling words that word recognition couldn't id.

It's irritating. I would rather deal with the spam then deal with the captcha. The spam was humorous at times.
It is only day one. I know it is annoying but let's give it some time no? Give them time to figure out a way to configure it so we don't have to do it on every post. They are working on it. Rome wasn't built overnight
Yeah I do appreciate that the mods are not being swamped now but I don't think this is a workable solution in the long run. I think it will greatly decrease traffic and people participating.
I think a system where you need X posts approved or captcha'd or whatever first would be a good system. Or require a mod approved intro, I've been on forums with that too.
ETA: Captcha struck me again. I'm really freakishly bad at these...

Not a mod but what I gathered from Eddies announcement post is they are trying to figure that out. How to do that and if it will work and how to make it work. I think this is as new to them as it is to us.
Btw my captcha (i hate the word captcha LOL I don't know why) this time was sugar censtit... Sounds like a stripper name hahaha
