HypersomniacLive: IMHO, that's beside the point.
Spam-reviews that don't get deleted give a very messy and sloppy impression of the site and make GOG look indifferent, to say the least.

Fuzzyfireball: What review section on any site doesn't get spam reviews?

Up vote the good ones down vote the bad ones. The bad ones get shoved to back the good ones get shoved towards the front.
Despite your derision, I like reading user reviews..warts and all.

I frequently sort by date and up/down votes mean nothing as far as untended spam is concerned.

tinyE: Obviously not, I'm still here.

Schnuff: Wow, is there something happening to you? (sold the account and this is not the original tinyE?)
Maybe THE END is near....time to confess my sins.....naahh the more interesting people are having a party down there.
I am asking because this is the 2nd post from you on the same day thats funny ;-p
Now I'm confused again. I average 80 posts a day; even the people that really like me tell my I post way too much. If I had a life I'd consider cutting back but that's obviously never going to happen.

Nirth: I agree some are ridiculously hard but it's easy to make them recognizable by a human but not by a spam bot, of course they won't work against human spammers.

And I only meant for posting a review, not posting on the forum. Do you post reviews that often that one CATPCHA per review would bother you? (assume that they would use a picture of letters and numbers that you realize what they're in a second after your browser rendered it)

Anyway, I think the filter between GOG version/not is more important because it would be fun to find people with nostaglia glasses who claim they don't have them, mainly because I usually read reviews for amusement, never as evidence for a potential good purchase.
Actually I never post reviews. I just hate captcha's on principle and in practice.
On principle it is another example of the majority of innocent people being inconvenienced as a result of the minority of guilty.
In practice I seriously do have a problem with them - perhaps its some weird form of dyslexia, or just an age thing - I have had accounts locked simply because I can't get three of them in a row.

On principle, I liked Re-Captcha since it was harnessing the power of the internet for OCR scanning of old books and papers. Unfortunately, it seems that the last month or so the only parts I'm getting for OCR are street numbers, and I'm not sure how much I want to contribute to that. The good thing is that for Re-Captcha, you can safely skip the OCR part, since it's not checked.
