ITT I wish to discuss the viability of a "faptcha" system using manipulated images for the sake of preventing automated posting which, should it be implemented, will replace the current reCAPTCHA on select boards such as /co/, /a/ and /tv/.
This is a good suggestion. Many have talked about this before and I also think it would benefit specific boards. I'm bumping for you as I have nothing really to say.
This is brilliant. I find it funny that mootykins gives talks about anonymity on the intertubes and then allows Google to track us all. :(
>>2109I think we should all be willing to whip up thousands of images.The staff won't do that for us.>>2153> :(Eek.
Would be good for keeping newfags out, or slowing their posting.
>>2239Well..Perhaps first a comment by a Mod or Moot and then after post all the pics in this thread, ye?
Kanji captcha on /jp/It will hopefully keep shitposters out and will remind /jp/ to do their reps.
>>2280It does indeed keep newfags out but there's an loophole to this. The newfags will just keep refreshing the faptcha until they see a character they know. In the end though, we can't do anything about that.
I prefer a hiragana/katakana captcha on /a/ while /jp/ should have kanji captcha.Shitposting would be a minimal after this.
Something like this would do wonders for /a/.>>2331But it can demotivate them enough.
>>2331While I'm not saying it's a good thing per se to keep all newfags out, it would slow their posting considerably.
>>2280That's what I'm thinking, not to mention that it would make the boards in question feel more... personal, I guess.>>2331He said "slowing their posting" as well.You can't just spew your ignorance onto the board when you have to refresh 20 times to get Vegeta.>>2310Naturally.The images would be relatively small, and we gotta adapt an open sauce faptcha script to work on 4clams, so we are looking at 12 days from this being okay'd to actual full implementation.
>>2374You're forgetting the part were shitposters are actually board regulars who might know their shit, which happens more often than you think.
If this was to be implemented I think it would require a multiple choice function, since there's a lot who have a hard time with remembering 50+ anime titles.At least that's my observations.
>>2374Ironic shitposting happens a lot more than actual shit posting, if you ask me.Which means regular /a/-lurkers.
>>2424Nono, the faptcha systems have a refresh option.Like, you know, reCAPTCHA and most other CAPTCHA systems as well.
>>2374That's a bit way too hard for /a/ due to the fact that the majority of the users don't even know Japanese at all.As for /jp/, it works
>>2424faptchas already exist. I don't remember which sites have them but I have been on ones before that use them.All they faptchas do is show a picture of a character from a show and you have to enter in the name of that character to be able to post.
>>2374I think Faptcha for /a/ for work better than hiragana. I started watching anime and lurking /a/ in 2007, but I never bothered to try and research the language simply because it isn't necessary. Knowing Japanese isn't a sign of your powerlevel. Knowing anime characters is.
By the way, I used to browse a site which implemented Faptcha. I don't remember how effective it was against shitposting, but it was certainly fun.
>>2080> Am not a wizard.> Go to /a/.> Oh, this is fun, I need to-> Faptcha.> Who the fuck is this?> noroyo~nI can see this happening.
Some unnecessarily esoteric captcha won't magically increase a board's quality. Shitposters will learn how to fill it out if necessary (or they might already know), and it'll just make it easier for spambots to post again because whatever it is will undoubtedly be easier for spammers to get around than the behemoth that is reCAPTCHA. As far as I'm concerned, that's the main thing we should be worrying about when it comes to captcha.
>>2768>whatever it is will undoubtedly be easier for spammers to get around than the behemoth that is reCAPTCHAI agree with you there. reCAPTCHA is a really a good system compared to others even if it itself is shit.
>>2768But how do you get rid of shitposters?They're constant ban evaders despite high autistic levels of reporting.There's also those shitty IRC groups that band together with tripfags and shitpost rampantly over threads they don't like.
Much more susceptible to being cracked and takes much more work to keep up compared to reCAPTCHA where Google does all the work.Despite what some deluded people from specific boards may want, moot has literally no reason to have any interest in making it harder for users to post.There is literally no way this would happen and there's no reason to even discuss it.
>>2080I support this. Faptcha would be a great addition.
>>2819Don't respond and report them. Can't shitpost if you're banned (well, unless you've got a dynamic IP, but it's still the best option).
>>2828How about this? We both have captcha and faptcha. But faptcha will be only be asked for your first post that day and after every 10 posts?
So.. this.. fapcha system.. it uses pornographic images and detects when you cum on your keyboard to prove you are human? Or.. have the spambots learned how to do this and the robopocalypse is closer than we think?
I'm up for faptcha and everything, but this is going to be a huge hassle for the staff. Is it really worth it for them?
First: faptcha sounds really fun, but it might be annoying for people who post more than me.Second: It might not necessary change anything at all because of reverse image search. On the other hand it can be an opportunity to learn about a new character/show.Third: It might change the posting speed or even the board culture, not sure if for the better. Safest bet would be to test it on a new board. But creating a board just to test this system seems highly unlikely. And creating another /co/, /a/, or /tv/ with this system sounds even more unlikely. Although having this "elitist" versions does not sound so bad now that I think about it.That's all I think about it.
Even though reCAPTCHA is annoying for me (I often have a hard time reading and typing it) this would be even worse.I visit /a/ on a regular basis even though I only got there for the first time a few months ago. I'm still not able to name many characters (even ones from shows I've watched) and don't know any japanese even though I visit /jp/ too.Newfags are not the problem if they behave and lurk _a little bit_ before asking silly questions.I would had probably just never went back on /a/ if I wasn't able to post anything on it.
Throwing out there simple math questions
Faptcha is not feasible. You cannot possibly maintain a large enough image collection, as repeated images are its downfall. Automated posting would quickly become trivial. There's a reason reCAPTCHA is so hard.There's an entry-level hiragana captcha at http://doushio.com/captcha/ but I have doubts about its resilience. Hiragana is currently more difficult to crack, but with focused research would probably become easier than latin characters for computers to read.
