Human Test?

Human Test?

So something got slipped under the rug in 2017, apparently wikidot came out with their version of captcha and applied it to all sites. It's triggered when a relativity new user to wikidot tries to save a new page. I've already inquired how to remove this from the admin panel and will probably do so in the sandbox site if there are no objections. I imagine this is the same for the main wiki too.

See my inquiry below:

And a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

Can these users not solve the captcha, or is the captcha not working? If it's the former, there's no issue here.

Yeah, I'm fine myself with keeping a captcha that's simple math like this unless it actively doesn't want to work.

Same here. It's pretty normal for sites to have one, and it could potentially prevent spam (as is intended with captchas) even though we (knock on wood) haven't ever gotten automated spam, at least as far as I know.

Well so far it is one user who says that it doesnt let them progress even when solved. So there is a question if it is working correctly at all. We'd need a way to test this.
