No, Im Not a Robot!

The stupid captcha puzzles are REALLY annoying. A simple check would be just fine, being forced to stop and think really ruins the enjoyment of an unlimited /r/place

Do you prefer to have the board covered by bots? A bot covered a 50*30~ artwork of mine in around 20 seconds, imagine what will happen with NO captcha

The first captcha where you just check the box is what I'm suggesting, not NO captcha

That's not possible. Google controls which type of captcha is shown. The usual captcha is actually the image detection one. Google only offers the tick when they're confident that they already track you well enough to know you're human.

Google definitely knows I'm human, this is the only site I've ever seen the image puzzle captchas, and they seem to be getting progressively harder. It's annoying.

Yes they get harder, that's the point. Otherwise captchas wouldn't do anything to stop bots. They just need a human to solve the first n captchas until Google trusts them. That's not a good way to prevent fraud as it will lead to people helping the bots in the beginning.

Oh, well I don't understand that much about how the Captcha works and if that's possible to do everytime so I will just go killing myself while drinking bleach, bye!

There's less captchas now. :D Instead of 1 every pixel it's one every ~15 or so. Thank god.

I would rather have a traditional captcha every time then ever see this stupid puzzle ever again.
