Lately there’s been a considerable increase of information regarding Captcha’s code cracking as more and more spam bots and hackers find their ways to bypass Capchas. Actually, one doesn’t have to be a sophisticated robot in order to crack a complicated Captcha. It can just make hundreds attempts to decipher a Captcha until it reaches full success.
A bot spammer is never tired of doomed attempts. A bot spammer never gets frustrated when it fail.
As for human users, I, myself, get pissed off with Captcha after the third attempt.
If I fail to decipher a Captcha three or four times, I simply give up!
That brings me to the following idea: Wouldn’t it be wiser to set a limit to Captchas wrong attempts? Let’s say after 5 attempts the user is blocked and can no longer activate a false account? This suggestion enables Captcha to function as a spam blocker right from the beginning!
Yes, I know it denies accessibility for human users, but than it stops spammers from endless cracking Captchas attempts.
I believe that under the circumstances less human users are preferable.
Massive bot spammers are less desirable but you know what people say: Sometimes – less is more.
