Petition to replace captcha on /sci/ with mathematical equation.

Bump here if you support this. Only unique IPs and posters will be counted.

Dude, you're posting on a site owner by a jap. This is weeb territory, get over it.

Anyway, the problem is a spambot could simply use Cramer's rule to solve the equation. It'd be tough to implement this in a way that's actually secure.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 5 10:11:55 2016 No.7763628 >>7762405 As a math postgrad I would not bother filling in that captcha just to post a single post in this shithole. Especially not after it's filled with pretentious twats who would actually bother to still post after that.
