Kaptcha for giveaways? Seriously?

[XJ9]

Guys your website is unusable enough without kaptcha, now when you added kaptcha to every single giveaway i get that popup every time i try to join, i click that i am not a bot, it says OKAY and then hides itself, but not join the giveaway, i click to join and kaptcha pops up AGAIN, so i basically cant join.

I assume that problem could be that i am using that addon that can be found in a sticky topic or somewhere on forums, which allows you to blacklist games (you dont have this functionality) so if i turn it off PROBABLY i will be able to join the giveaways, but now in addition to a god damn ERROR 500 every 2 seconds i will have to click on kaptcha 555 times, and i will have no blacklist anymore (like 200 games hidden).

This is against bots? Cool.
But this is against normal users as well, and they will suffer more than bots for sure.

Same here!
Take Part > I am not a Robot > Submit > Repeat
Take Part > I am not a Robot > Submit > Repeat
Take Part > I am not a Robot > Submit > Repeat
Take Part > I am not a Robot > Submit > Repeat
etc. endless loops of useless clicking.

Not having any issue. In fact the site is working way better. no errors at all when doing the giveaways.

 

[SilverPixie DustRealm]

Same here, endless captcha loop, extension is dead, turning it off doesn't work.

 

[BlueWhimShaman]

no endless captcha loop for me. the problem is with your pc not the site.

Omg every next captcha gets more and more complicated because google think that you are bot because you solve kaptcha 150 times in 2 hours because you have 250 points for 250 1 point giveaways. I am done.

 

[Deadmarsh]

Yeah this is ridiculous...

Maybe don't ask with every single giveaway if a user has succesfully just answered captcha.
It's not our fault you use a potato for a serve which can't handle the loads it's exposed to.

 

[BlueWhimShaman]

the problem was the Russians do fake giveaways and using bots to get game keys for reselling.

This is happening for me too, except it doesn't take me 2 hours. Maybe 30 minutes?

Idk - click on all cars - click click click click click click click click click click more cars appear click click click click click click more cars click click click , oh 1 giveaway is done, 249 to go.

I am also getting captcha on every giveaway I try to join. If this keeps up, I will be leaving Indie Gala and going to Steam Gifts permanently. Too bad because I just bought 5 Indie Gala bundles today but if I move, I will not be checking Indie Gala for bundles any more. I think IG will be losing a LOT of customers because of this...

It's a ridiculous idea. And it's so enoying

Fuck Captchca, and the horse you brought it in on. Literally the worst.

And the person who bought the stupid horse, the original owner, and their mothers.

Ridiculous? Yes, but it works. Indiegala site works stable and without problems. And for bots? Typical giveaway without captcha = 500-800 enters, now = 20-50.

 

[OwO]

since bots gone, u have more chance to win.
but why not set a limit. for example after 10 or 20 capt was right then no more capt this day.

1 week from now 0-10, no one is going to stick around for this IMO.

Also i dont think its because of no bots.
its cause no one wants to put in the time to enter 50-240(dependant on price) giveaways p/day, when you have to do a captcha for every single one.

That's not true that "bots gone".Normally users gone,those (like me) who haven't got about three hours a day to waste solving captcha.On the other giveaway sites it's about 1000 enters per giveaway and it's normal. Good bye ,indiegala , i have no more time for you and your stupid ideas.

Sometimes up to 5 levels of captcha!!! v:-(?
Why not test the use of the simplest level of catpcha? (I mean, just click "I'm not a robot") that will be more user friendly.
