Install an auto fill plugin on your browser, click one button every field on the page is filled out, type in the captcha word, switch ip, repeat. With out the captcha box they could automate it and walk away. With the captcha box it takes them 10 minutes to make 100 accounts... captcha isn't stopping anything. However the captcha on the site I just tried to signup to that didn't work prevented me, and god knows how many other affiliates from signing up. good job 
Well i guess it does prevent scammers when it doesn't work LOL but it prevents everyone else too  |
I don't buy this captcha to stop scammers bullshit... I have yet to signup to a program that has captcha on the actual signup page, they are all on the login page, therefore they already have 100's of accounts and are just blocked for a split second on logging into the account they are already using.
New excuse please.
