Takes me about 10 mins per post to find a captcha that I can actually see. Half the time the slider doesn't show up. At least they have tweaked it slightly now that it remembers your post, at first you had to copy everything and open a new reply window if you failed the captcha. I used 4chan a lot (pol occasionally, x a lot, o a lot) because I like relatively freedom of speech and now I use it like 10% what I did before because the captcha fails so much.

Ironically the blatent bots have already circumvented it.

So it's a pixelated random string of letters and numbers, but the difference between this and a normal captcha is you have to slide a slider to fit the sliced puzzle back into place. It's very difficult to see if the letters and numbers are aligned or not.

This is awful. Captchas are already an awful, terrible abomination of UX patterns and some how they outdid themselves with this one.

Is there no better way to solve for bots?

So much for the blind users

Gotta sell that pass somehow

Does 4chan have their own tenbux now?

Well, it's quite nice

this is very bad experience on mobile, trying to adjust slider moves also the page and you are obscuring view of the captcha with your finger

I wonder if this may be deliberate - phoneposting is commonly seen to be detrimental to the quality of discourse (for various reasons e.g. it is trivial to evade bans, phone users tend to join and leave threads randomly due to IRL concerns, phones do not tend to have good image organisation so phoneposters do not contribute topic-appropriate memes, and so on). I will be interested to see if raising the barrier to entry for phoneposters improves the overall quality of the imageboard.
