Hi guys. Sorry for posting 2 off-topic questions in a row. Whenever I try to post a question or answer, something pops up and tells me to prove I am not a robot. For example, I have to click all the boxes with store signs on them. Could anyone please tell me how to disable it?

It's called a captcha, and unfortunatly no, you can't disable it, if you can, then it would defy the purpose that it is created in the first place, since people who want to spam can just disable it and do whatever they want to do on websites.

It might be annoying but hey, atleast you won't see spam advertisements in this forum with their protection :D

Oh. Thanks for answering again. laugh

But wouldn't using adblock be better than the captcha?

The robots won't come for only the purpose to advertising, but used aswell to clog a server's internet connection by putting immense useless data on it, making the connection taking ages to created (i.e. DDoS attack), or to spam personal political messages like who to support in a presidential election etc., also adblock is used to block the ads you see on webpages on the blank spaces left or right to it (i.e. Sponsored content, that's how websites mostly get their funds and money from), not to block comments with ads encrusted in them.

Not sure, my best guess is that it is related to how many like one gets with that answer & how popular the question is viewed, you can ask the staffs when they are online about that :)

Only "Mods" have the authority to choose "Best answer".
