why does the computer keep asking me to verify with pictures?

getting tired of that also. I also have blocked some people and they are still able to answer a question. what is the purpose of blocking someone who is rude and nasty, if they can still answer your question. some don't like your religion and get rude and nasty and they are blocked and still answer and have many questions also and they are blocked also

Me too . OVER & OVER .

There is a solution: "use a forum that doesn't".

When enough people walk, the advert revenue will dry up and Y/A will die. Some better designed forum will succeed.

It's happening to everyone.

I am finding it fairly interesting

to study their own selection rules.

I think they had preschoolers

set the standard for correct choices.

I.e. when they ask to choose all squares with cars,

I also had to select pickup trucks.

Selecting for "traffic lights"

requires including cross walk signs

and the poles that hold up the traffic lights.

I would prefer they use the crowd sourcing type,

that asks users to identify rocks with fossils,

or to type what some photographed text says,

to teach A.I. to improve its skills at those tasks.

Those don't require a perfect score,

just a fair match to what others have answered.

update: Inconsistent.

This time, I had to not include the poles

holding up the traffic lights.

Different preschooler graded this one.

YEAH SARAH we all hate it....apparently they try to avoid robots that way.

Chinese hackers write programs that massively spam the website, and it's a way to keep them at bay.

Clearly, you are a robot. Yahoo suspects the truth.

This is Yahoo's way of trying to reduce bot traffic.

I hate that.
