Capthcas on voting page
FNVcourierjon(SigilStone):
When you enter the captchas(lol) you only have to do it ONCE, when the second website pops up with aother captcha just ignore it you don't need to do it twice for the same one.
Spamarian:
Guys? That's the point.
That you need to type both codes. The first one is for the site, to recognize that you are not a bot, and the second is for the better rank of the server to the catalog.
If you dotn type both, you cheat.
Unholy_Gibbon:
I recognise the need for captchas to stop bots on the actual voting websites but why is it needed on opticraft.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.
