New CAPTCHA now required before posting

[yudi09]

Finally, a long overdue improvement to the forum!
Finally, we have a proof of work to post!

Fully support this initiative!

Edit: from mobile is quite a challenge!

Almost 45 minutes and even close to 1 hour to complete the challenge of playing the game to get CAPTCHA SOLVED like those who have already succeeded. You are right filippone. It's really challenging to complete it on mobile. I had the urge to complete it on PC, but I didn't. It's an entertaining romp on mobile.

63 points I needed to post

Have a happy April to everyone.
Cheers,

APRIL FOOL'S  
(pesce d'aprile for italians   )

Thanks to our French friends for giving us this beautiful tradition!

The April Fool's tradition was born in France in the 1500s and then spread to Europe. This is the story of French origin: until 1500, the first day of the year in France was March 25 and the celebrations culminated on April 1 with banquets and exchanges of gifts. But in 1564 King Charles IX decided to adopt the Gregorian calendar, and to move the new year to January 1st. Some subjects, however, did not accept the change, and soon their fellow citizens began to mock the custom and every year, on the occasion of April 1st, they sent the "traditionalists" hoax gifts or invited them to ghost parties. And since the sun leaves the Pisces astrological sign at that time of year, the victims of the jokes were called "April Fools."

a bit of technical mixing with jokes, sir. I'm glad you always give sweet threads this month. There are those who agree, there are those who respond with a little hunger during Ramadan (for those who run it) thank you beautiful April .. I think green makes the eyes quite indulgent .. a little dish when it's drizzling mepanda.. My #April

April Fools this year doesn't seem to be enough

To hell with posting, I'm stuck in this game.

Upd: This is a mockery, theymos! This game is impossible to win!

Has anyone even completed this game? What prize awaits at the end?
Why exactly 65 coins? What is it connected with?

It seems that the target score increases by one point every 5 minutes! If my reasoning is correct at 11.55pm (Teymos time) the target score should be 287.

Edin: Just now ask me 21 on italian board , but here ask me 82! Theyms, Are you kidding me???

There is no prize. Hell, there isn't even a "you won" screen until you crash-land your bird.

Men I feel you and now in my second post of these days are getting worst which is in my first post I only need 3 coins to post but now this time I need to get 58 coins in flapppy bird it's sounds great and challenge for me.

The coin requirement fluctuates. My second post today required me collecting just 5 coins after the first asked for 52 coins. Now this one I'm making required 70 coins. Who knows, my next post today may require less than 20 coins. I think this is the hardest April Fool's prank theymos has pulled so far. I don't know if getting those coins is easier for those on PCs, unlike those of us on mobile phones.

Again, for those screaming this should be implemented in real life to curb spamming; don't be too sure that you will be able to make your regular posts, no matter how an excellent poster you think you're. This is a stringent measure.

Merit from satoshi, glad to see this!

This is mine as of today no joke. Pretty sure the one next to me will be a 100 or so. I wish there is a leaderboard for those who have passed and some little rewards as well. If this really isn't a prank and theymos actually decides to implement this, for sure there will be tons of complaints and almost nobody would remain here on this forum.   Lucky enough this is only an event.

Edit: Nothing happened after I beat lap 100. So far 99 is the highest for me and now every time I post I needed to complete at least 30+ coins, I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but yeah I beat the system mr @theymos. 

[so98nn]

Haha, April fools everyone. This was really good one considering all past April fools. Otherwise I remember we consistently had only changes to the profile ranks, text were added and shrines were updated that’s all. I don’t know if such captcha and games were added previously or not but this made me laugh for sure.

I think the game should not be removed at all. I’m liking it so much and spent more than 10 minutes to play it before posting. Just for fun.  

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Theymos, you bugger, I gave up!

You need to collect 69 coins to post

Sounds sexy 💋

[theymos]

I disabled the "new replies since you started writing" error globally.  (In ordinary times, you can disable this in your settings, BTW.)

Cheers,

Really? 1 hour to solve it? WOW, if it really became a requirement for writing on this forum, spam would practically disappear because spammers would not have the desire and nerve to waste 1 hour per post 
Theymos seems to have just discovered how to beat internet forum spam, well done for this discovery.
So, there is still hope that one day spam will disappear from this forum?
Theymos, you are a genius 
Too bad this new rule only applies to April Fools' Day, I'd extend it for a while longer to discourage forum spammers.

To every pozzzul, there is always a root for always winning through. I thought this was a joke when I only needed less than 15 coins to pass the captcha, but now I am battling with the game to collect 36 coins. Whatever this is, if it's real, that means a lot of accounts are going to be banned because I have tried to get a good root to pass, but it seems like it's hypnotizing me. I feel like smashing my damn phone because I think it's the phone's flaw that keeps me from passing this game. Despite how good I am at playing Angry Birds but this captcha is so challenging.

[o48o]

Well it's better then GTA4. When i timed my bird movements just correctly i found the secret level where i could talk with the founder and got in to play the real game.
But don't think my computer can run it correctly, i get weird these weird glitches when ever gods are speaking to me.
Physics engine really kicks ass on the city mission where the tsunami hits to white house, and AI was acting so human like it freaked me out a little bit when it knew what i was thinking but in overall it was greatest experience of gaming history i ever had. I am not going to post screehots as that was permitted but what a ride!!
I can't wait to talk with people who found it.

[DaNNy001]

I think this game is impossible to solve on mobile, I have tried and tried but the game graphics just keeps breaking and thus making it impossible to finish and solve. Although its kinda time consuming as I am kinda stuck here playing this difficult game, nice one theymos and power glove for the April present

[Kavelj22]

I was waiting for April's surprise for this year, but I didn't expect to find that everyone has the possibility of being a suspected spammer! 
And if I wish that red warning would be affixed to every post issued by a new account in the bounty section and some other boards (gambling).

By the way, why doesn't everyone have that warning at the top of every post? I noticed that some have been exempted from it 
See Example:


Unfortunately, spammers have become able to issue publications of good quality, and they do not deserve more than using a very easy chat application that relies on artificial intelligence. It's getting hard to distinguish between real spammers and good publishers.
I hope that this will be an opportunity to remind you that the forum is an open space for discussions and build skills, and that using any means that do not serve those goals is necessarily a deception and a waste of time.

Happy foolish day everybody
I wish you all the best

[Cryptomiles1]

On a lighter note this is very challenging for everyone here especially me i want to know if there are no other alternatives to bypass this?
If i post i will be labeled spammer why because i wasn't able to complete game probably will be ban in 2 weeks.

What about those that posted off from the discussion eg, "Hi, Joined, F*ck you, or that are not in line with the discussion and they played game ( CAPTCHA) then pass it do we still call those people good quality poster or spammer as well because i don't think this AI can really detects a spammer properly.
Any way I am not against any implementation by the forum, if any one here can do it then i can also do it, it will only require time to get used to it before its too late, few of my post i passed it but haven to collect about 81 coins to be able to post is like a hell to me.

The most annoying part of this is that whenever you fails you starts afresh again then it starting reading the coin left to solved the task.

[Ever-young]

I tried using my mobile device and it was kind of hard and time-consuming I was thinking using my pc will be kind of easier but I just got myself a 10x of what I saw on my mobile.



I think I will rather make use of my mobile gadget which was a bit simpler and number of point to grab was kind of low.
