It took me like 50 attempts over the course of several days to join here. The CAPTCHA is very hard to read, almost extremely so. Plus, you forgot to put a note that they have to be in capital letters.

that's a prerequisite. starting descent without serious dedication makes no sense and spares your time as well as ours . however, you've obviously shown this dedication, otherwise you would'nt be here zwinkern.

that's how captcha works. if nothing goes, there's still the admin email at the bottom of the site.

on a sidenote, since you're from cologne, you can probably talk in german and should do so, since this is a german board.

welcome aboard! lächeln

I'm not the only one who had this problem. I was on IRC and another user said the same thing when I brought up the topic.



***** EDIT by Floyd: NO SIG pictures, thank you.

sure, the captcha is hard, but it succesfully solved a major issue caused by spambots trying to flood the forum.

habs schon auf .com gelesen, dachte aber es ist zunächst ne vermutung. solange hier kein spam kommt, hab ich aber noch kein problem damit (obwohl die links zu seinem neuen forum fast schon grund genug sind).

erster (voll)treffer beim ersten google-link:

What the f**k did you just call me? I've never been BAmpersand in my life, except one time, but that was on a girls only forum (well, I joined back when it was open to guys, but then the admin changed her mind and decided to ban all the guys). Anyway, Grendel, stop being a butthurt f****t.

I have never done anything to you, so why are you so intimidated by me?

Hm, da kursieren die wildesten Theorien was wirklich hinter den Konten steckt. Eine davon besagt dass es eine KI ist -- macht durchaus sinn..

Thanks for your report Kevin!

You should have read the note beside the confirmation code:

Code:
Enter the code (the 6 dark colored characters only) exactly as you see it.
All chars uppercase and zero has a dot in it. Ignore the light colored stuff.


Also there is an email address directly above the code. A real Descent fan should be able to read the code quite easily (at least if you read the hint).

I've not seen a single post of you regarding Descent on this forum yet so that might be the reason why you are not able to read it.

To go into the chat and report your problem there was a good idea. However: Seems you made it in the end Smilie

I can't see anything bad from Grendel, but I can clearly see that your tone does not match anything I'd appreciate, let alone accept.

I also agree that if you're from Cologne, you might want to start writing in German as otherwise the www.descentbb.com and www.descentbb.net will be of better help.

Thanks...

Nun, mein guter Mann, sollten Sie vielleicht nicht alle Ihre Pflanzen in Gerüchte.

As I have no clue what this could stand for - let us ask Mrs. Google to translate it back to english:

"Well, my good man, you should perhaps not all your plants in rumors."

Hmm....
@Checkor: could you please implement a "block user" button?

OT: Acer, so ein Knopf ist keine gute Idee, weil Du dann die löchrigen threads nicht mehr verstehst. Du siehst ja nicht, wo was fehlt, und worauf sich die folgenden postings beziehen.

Back to topic: Mich dünkt, hier deutet sich immer mehr an, dass eine deutlich drastischere Massnahme vonnöten sein werden wird, führwahr.

Dat beschissne Doitsch iss ledigisch n Sparss meinaseits. Wenner denn ut Kölle kommet, denn kanna dat scho verstehn, wa? Sehr glücklich
