If I fail the "I'm not a robot" test, does that mean I'm a robot and not know it?

hey G@G, why move this to Technology & Internet when it's referencing 'I'm not a robot" portion of the G@G login screen.

I keep failing at it all the time.. everyday. Cloudflare has convinced me that I'm a robot. I wonder whether I'm a transformer now. My whole life has been a lie 😭

[llorando]

Possibly a transformer or possibly a Bending unit that didn't notice someone put a "kick me" magnet on your back. A bending unit with a magnet on your back would explain failing every I'm not a robot test.

LMHO!! Gotta love Futurama🤣

[llorando]

Of course we do!

[Genie23]

Thank you for MHO! By the way, I wanted to comment the other day on some question thread. I read your answer on your username origin. I had no idea you had a different username and that you could actually change your username 😳 Can't imagine you being anything other than llorando 😝

[llorando]

I only had the ED209 for a few months so not surprised when users doesn't remember my username. If I remember correctly, G@G got rid of name changes when they added the feature to @UserS which is logical as name changes would mess with the @user system. You couldn't change your name anytime you wanted, you were only allowed one name change, and you had to kindly message the mods asking for your username change. It's still technically possible to change your, but it involves deactivating your current account and creating a new account.

Did you know my G@G name was originally ED209? ↗

[Genie23]

I joined GaG in December 2014 but I remember not using my account for a while and when I finally signed in again it was in the third or fourth month of 2015.

I see 😭 I don't want to delete my account and create a new account just to change my username. I wanted to change 23 to maybe 91 as birthday doesn't change but my age does 😂 but oh well.

[llorando]

I don't blame you for not wanting to delete your account just for a name change, I almost deleted my account, then decided wasn't worth letting others get to me. Creating a new account means losing followers and influencer status.

[Genie23]

To be honest, I don't like influencer status, I made me account private very shortly after I became one as it automatically makes level 1 users most of them are thirsty people who kept commenting thirsty stuff on my opinions. Also, if you have a hater who wants to harass you, they can easily do that even if you keep your account private as they can still see certain questions and comments you made in the category you were made an influencer for. 😭

[Genie23]

The reason I don't wanna delete is because of you and other friends. Some are active, most aren't so sending friend request and telling friends "It's me" would be too much work 😅

[llorando]

I don't mind the mind influencer status, might be because I don't have a female account, but I don't have an issue with thirst people commenting thirst stuff on my opinions, but do feel for or you and other's it happens too. I'm lucky that most of my haters have blocked me. I don't have many friends left, they've mostly left/not active or blocked me, so friends (tho I would really mis you and a few others) not a big influence deleting my account, but my account being old and iconic and me being too lazy to rebuild another account to the status this has, is a big influence for not deleting it.

[Genie23]

Wait, why would anyone even block you? I never saw you arguing with anyone or say anything remotely offensive.

Oh and now I get why you wouldn't want to delete this account. 😊

[llorando]

It's hard to tell, but have observed over the past few years, users have become more easily offended over disagreements, with some going as far as to label you an evil person for not agreeing with them (not to get too political, but I partly blame the current state of US politics). It's almost as if opinions/disagreements shifted from being a rainbow to being black and white, there's no nuances in opinion anymore contributing to people getting offended. It hasn't happened to me personally, but have witnessed over the years, people getting blocked over their favorite color lol.

I love my account, as I'm sure you do minus all the stalkers and creeps :)

[sage2021]

The question should be "Are you human"?

[Sunrising]

If you've failed the test, then you must be a robot. Might not be too bad, other robots will probably love you.

[Sunrising]

It's very annoying when you have to complete a robot test with pictures which sometimes are not immediately obvious, and some are totally impossible to complete. Thanks for the MHO, as you know I've not been on the website long, and I'm amazed at my record I have accumulated, having been delighted to reach level 3.

[YourFutureEx]

It only makes you a failure as a human and not a winner as a robot.

Did you miss a crosswalk by a pixel?

[llorando]

Yes, also once had to select all the images that contained mailboxes and failed because one of the images were mislabeled lol.

[YourFutureEx]

You can try using the app. It doesn't ask for verification there.

Or you can try some tricks like, not clicking on the box too fast or not clicking the box at all. Try tapping on the text next to the box instead. That will make you look human.

[llorando]

I've tried the app and hate it. You have to checkmark the "I'm not a robot" box or it won't let you log in.

[YourFutureEx]

No, I meant check it by not tapping on the box, but tapping on the text adjacent to it. I've heard somewhere that it makes the system think that you're a human as a bot would only tap on the box.

Thank you for MHO :)

[YourFutureEx]

meant to* checking*

[llorando]

Got it now. Will try that next time, but sometimes it's hard on a mobile.

[YourFutureEx]

I do that all the time on my mobile. Ever since I started tapping on text instead of the box, it never asks me to solve captcha

[Brandi555]

wtf is a robot test?

[llorando]

When logging into G@G, you never had to click "I'm not a robot"? Sometimes when you click on it you get a popup with images, and you have to select all the images that contains a certain item such as a traffic light.

[Brandi555]

Oh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[BCRanger10]

Sure. Why not?
