I HATE THEM! You waste too many minutes on trying to figure them out. It is a game that is no fun to play. If everybody just left when they get them they would fix it. I like listening to the radio, but I am not going to waste my time on unreadable captcha's. Yes, they are from hell. Computer hell.

I kind of doubt that FC is in control of these captchas I would think they are controlled by radioloyalty as it is also used on other sites as well. I would be nice however if FC were able to work with them to improve the quality of them. I would have to hope that more than 90% of the users directed to RL from FC are actually honest, maybe even more and that it would be to the benefit of all to help improve this part of the process. I have yet to try one of the more difficult ones as a audio clue, which may be the method we need to convert to in order to have success, but yes highly agree that they are a pain and just really stink. Too bad humans have this compulsion to cheat that ruins it for their counterparts.

I haven't had to deal with any of the bad ones for a while.

I think the secret is not to ask for a new Captcha too often.I personally HATE the long 8 letter 3 word Capachas.(Vonage is a beauty.One simple word.)But I noticed the more I refreshed, hoping for a short Capacha,the sooner I'd run into these beasts of hades. ;D

So my advice,is don't refresh too often.(Once or twice is alright)Or else they punish you with the unreadable.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

I did try the audio.  It was worse than the visual.

Some one complained about getting captchas that were difficult to read a while back.  Didn't understand what they meant since most of my captcha were just one liners from ads.

Well, now I understand.  Just went through 20 or so refreshes on the captcha in order to find a couple that I thought I could read.  I tried 3 but got the response that what I entered was wrong; 16 others that I knew I couldn't read and finally got one right.

Please, FC, use another type of captcha formula.  The current ones are totally too difficult to decipher.

If I remember correctly, Admin had stated that those captchas will get more and more difficult to read because someone is trying to "cheat" the system.  Don't think I'm talking about you, personally.  It's just that there are so many people doing the Radio Loyalty offer, it could be anyone and it makes it more difficult for the rest of us.  I hope they're banning those people.
I am not personally buying the whole "cheating" listening to radio. But yeah some times solve media is really bad.

I'm not sure about the statement that someone is cheating.  For one thing, I would think if they know someone is cheating, they would know who it was and they would be banned.  For another, I don't see how one could cheat unless you had a lot of technical equipment that could make it possible to cheat.  Then, if you have all that technical equipment and savvy, why would you be on a survey website anyway.  I look at some of the survey websites, and it looks like when you are given good offers that are fairly easy, something else is taken away.  ??

I decided to google CAPTCHA and up popped page after page of ads for software for CAPTCHA solvers.  I had no idea!  BUT, if there are all sorts of CAPTCHA solvers, what is the point of CAPTCHA?  The rest of my post I stand by.
