The vast majority of keys given away on GOG is for Steam which doesn't have a captcha, so...

Indeed, probably 99% of them, and I doubt that anyone is hiring people working in a sweat shop in Bangladesh to "crack" the captcha for the what - one or two GOG keys posted in the forums per month? Not to mention that if such bogus posts actually caused any problem which is unlikely - the person could just blacklist everyone doing it once anyway and any future bogus posts they made would be silently ignored. It's not like 1000 people are going to start posting bogus codes for some minor issue that nobody really even cares about. At best it might be the OP and 2/3/5/10 people max, and they'd probably get chewed out by 1000 other people for doing it.

Slowly look at URI of this website. Try to spot "steam" in it. Take your time, no hurry!

You spoiled such a chance to link me to Turing test! God damn!


This issue is solved: reason - forum not worth fixing.

The URL of this website is irrelevant. At least 90% of the code drops in this forum are Steam keys.

You talk about "poisoning" the water but refuse to recognize that by design your poison is diluted so much as to render it virtually non-existent.

the thing about bots is that... well... they are bots. They don't get confused, nor care very much about this at all.

The OP works under the assumption that captchas have to be solved by paid humans. By introducing lots of fake keys he wants to increase the workload so much that it's no longer cost-effective because only every n-th solved captcha actually yields a positive result in the form of a viable key.

Unfortunately, he completely fails to grasp that, even if the GOG captcha needs to be solved by a human (which I wouldn't take as a given), GOG is the only one with a captcha in the code redeeming process and that GOG keys are only a tiny fraction of the key drops in the forum, rendering the entire exercise pointless.

God damn, Johnson! My idea was only around GOG keys. This is GOG! Where did you get that rainbow idea about Steam, Desura, HB, $insert another random key? Yes, balloons are not designed to be used as condoms! Want something more - go invent it. Firmly sitting on one chair is better than attempt to sit on sixty! What do you complain next, than GOG redeem does not accept Steam keys? Damn it, Johnson!
