Capthcas on voting page

(1/5) > >>

Tree Frog:
I read several threads about the voting page but didn't see this topic.

On the Opticraft voting page, I enter my name and for two of the sites I enter a Capthca.   However, everytime I am transferred to the voting site and I have to enter a Captcha again.   I assume it was supposed to be sent over automatically (otherwise what's the point of entering it on Opticraft).  

I'm using IE 8.   Is there a way to avoid this?   (I'll try it on Firefox as soon as I can vote again but wanted to see if this is a known issue).

(Argh - I thought I was on the Support thread when I posted - sorry)

Okay, here is how the voting works for me (on Firefox):

I enter the Capthca
Another widow opens up
I close it
I voted!

youre not really voting then, youre just going to the voting page, IE youre cheating the system lol, you have to actually click vote on the new page

Xeadin:
The reason why this is happening is because since optical put the captchas onto the voting pages, the voting sites were under the suspicion that we were 'circumventing' and bypassing the captcha (this is what happened with Minecraftservers.net). They were treating our macros as though it was some sort of a bot that entered in the captcha information.

The captcha is a type of process that is primarily meant to keep automated bots away, so that the votes statistics aren't obscenely skewed from the rest of the servers' votes (because some people prefer 'favouritism' towards their own server and like to be kept at the top of the list, which is an unfair advantage and keeps other servers from being noticed more often).

Our primary focus was only to keep the captcha conveniently located on our site, but that did not agree with the rest of the voting sites for some odd reason (still yet to be explained).

XtremeTop100 changed how they do their captchas (which is not exactly Captcha), so that's not really an issue at this point.
