Goodbye, Cruel World
« on: September 01, 2013, 09:01:07 pm »
World of CAPTCHAs, that is.  I have cashed out for last month, meaning I will be paid in October.  I have decided to write a log of my attempts to solve CAPTCHAs for RL, Paid Clicks, and Daily Cash emails.  If I continue having problems, I will quit at the end of October after I am paid for my August Cashout.  I don't expect to get the $3 forum bonus, because this log will probably not qualify.  Continuing to try to work with this is just too stressful.

Day 1:  1 RL (could not guess anymore), 2 videos
           Could not solve 2 cent DLE, tried several times
            No FC surveys available

Just keep refreshing them until you get one that's crystal clear. I like the drop-down question types; wish there were more of those.

Queenofnines - I don't think you understand.  When you are getting the hard CAPTCHAs, refreshing does not help.  I just keep getting the same type.  If I were getting the ones like you get, I wouldn't have any problem.

The Radio Loyalty Captcha's I receive are normally pretty clear.  Sometimes you are required to click on the link that indicates "click to reveal the  security code" and the Captcha appears, you enter the code hit submit and you're done.  Other times you may need to enter a Captcha exactly as it is written including spaces, hit submit and you're done.  For me I haven't had a need to guess any Captcha's.  On a rare occasion I might have a drop down list with different choices but as I indicated this is very rare.  Hope this helps.  :peace:

Stick with it. They do pay there are not too many sites that pay.You only need 30 posts to qualify. I always post a little more but of course my old man tells me that I am to opiniated. Good luck to ya, :thumbsup: :wave:

Agree that that captcha (and others like it) are impossible to read.  I had a batch like that for a while.  I just kept refreshing the captcha until I got something that I thought I could "read".  Half the time, I was wrong, but occasionally a readable one came on.

Eventually, the impossible ones became ones I could read. I think it took a couple of hours (didn't count how many refreshes).    But I also sent in a support ticket with a plea to have captchas that could be read (as well as put it on the Forum).

My theory is that the captchas are in a cycle and eventually the impossible ones will run their course.  Might be wrong -- but give it a chance.

Day 2 - 1 Radio Loyalty with regular CAPTCHA.  Those afterward were impossible to read.
            2 Videos listed - Jim Beam - kept giving me an error message, same as yesterday.
                                   Ugly Truth - message said I had already completed this one, same as yesterday.
            Daily Click Email - Kept getting error, try again message, same as yesterday. (even after the Restaurant Rover page came up)

           Total - 3 points yesterday, 1 today.

Sometimes, the captcha's are just tooooo hard to read.  I have refreshed 10x before I get one that I can read!

The only advice I can give as I said before: Don't refresh too often.I used to refresh just to get a short Captcha and I'd get punished with 50,000 unreadables.If you can get back to the normal ones,don't refresh more than once or twice and you should be fine.At least that's my experience. :dontknow:

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

Day 3:  After much hair-pulling, I got 1 cent from RL.  None of the videos worked, kept giving error messages.  For the DCE, I restarted about 3 times, letting some time pass between tries, and finally got the 2 cents.  Then, lo and behold, I tried an FC survey and got all the way through, for 75 cents.  Then I tried the Paid to Click and, refreshing about a dozen times, I got the 15 cents.  Total for today - 94 cents.  Maybe this will work.  I will keep trying this month.
