The Captcha
Submitted by Editor on Wed, 10/03/2010 - 22:44
Sometimes people come to the website and want to register but are put off by the need to satisfy a captcha. It sometimes also crops up when a registered user posts a comment.
Many are not clear about why such a thing is used.
The purpose is to make it more difficult for spam merchants to infect the website with a 'bot' which is a piece of virus software which will enable spam to enter the website.
By typing in the words and numbers offered in the image you demonstrate that you are human and not an automated piece of software.
It is a nuisance but it saves us from a worse problem.
Please tolerate them and persevere even though it can be frustrating.
We welcome contributors and we welcome comments.
