Bot Checks (in General)

I've suddently been getting lots of bot checks after failing one last night simply because I messed up the images. Do you get more frequent bot checks after failing them or is this just a new change? I don't mind the bot checks but I do mind failing them when I have trouble reading the images. Some are just downright impossible to make heads or tails of. Of course maybe I'm just being a mouth breather and need to go back to the second grade. ROFL.

they do get easier with time and experience. as for getting more after failing one, it seems like it might be the case at least right after failing one, however not for hours afterwards. they are random though and sometimes you just get unlucky.

the main tip i can give ya for bot checks is recognizing the difference between t's and f's. the t's tails never go below whereas the tail on f's go way down like y's g's or q's. i hope that helps!

Ahh, after reading a bit more, I found that after a certain point of being a new user you start to get them. I guess I'll get a bit more used to the images. HEH.

Wasn't there a practice page you could use to get used to them? Or is that no longer functioning?

Also, if you're going to be a mouth breather, get a snorkel and do it with style!

Sweet, I never thought of using a snorkle. Good call. I'm on it.

Snorkel. Now there's a great word!
