I wouldn't mind Captcha if...
1) it worked first time without looping back again and again and again
2) it didn't discriminate against literately written posts eg paragraphs and punctuation
3) it didn't use visually distorted words - this is hell for visually impaired people like myself
4) it actually worked to keep the actual spammers out, which I assume is it's primary purpose, and it doesn't
I readily appreciate the need to prove I am human and not a spambot, though why can't that be done with efficiency and without word distortion as on other sites I visit? (Also, unwittingly I am sure, the distortion is discriminative against people with visual impairments). I am not visually capable - I have the wet form of macular degeneration and other visual impairments, and Catcha is a real downer in my day.

I am not visually impaired but have trouble seeing but the long ones
It asks for Capchta when I cancel a post.
