The RS forums offer a wealth of ideas and helpful information. So this is simply a way for us to share any threads we feel might be worth checking out.

I tend to stalk the Suggestions forums so you'll notice most of mine are from there:


New Slayer Emote

Right click scroll

Sheath Swords

Botter Tagging

Keep or not? The Bank Adviser

WHATS THE BIG IDEA?

Quest Item Box in Costume Room

lol there's already a Captcha system on rs mate, log in with the wrong pass a few times it comes up. It's using the ReCaptcha system and that's worlds apart from the nasty unreadable Captchas we all hate. Check out their website to see what I mean :)

ah I've too many acc's, so getting the pass wrong isn't rare for me lol. What do you mean about things sneaking in though?

The Botter Tagging thread is mine mate. So I've spent the last 6 months living and breathing the anti-bot/ Captcha solution arguments there.

I do still believe ReCaptcha would work, but tbh I've lost what little faith I had in Jagex giving a shit... so yer I haven't been keeping up with the thread last few weeks.

lol the problem is with that, anything people can eaisly decifer and write down like re captcha, can also be done by a computer rather eaisly too, 4chan atm uses that system for posting and there lots of apps for firefoz and stuf to autofill it.

I'd heard 4chan's was beatable, but didn't know they were using ReCapcha there. You sure the ff apps can solve a random ReCaptcha unassisted? I've only managed to find one- and that claims to have 'an amazing 19% success rate' lol.

As you say, if a human can save the solutions, then a program can simply use those when it encounters the corresponding image. Thing is, the ReCaptcha image libraries are supposed to be almost limitless, so recording them shouldn't work as you aren't likely to ever encounter the same one twice.

When Jagex started using it 6 months back, I kinda took that as a seal of approval. But... why is it good enough a system to secure accounts- but not good enough to stop bots? Just makes no sense, unless you're right and it is too easily beaten :P

There are no other plausible suggestions (on forums) for dealing with the botters, so I think it's a real shame that (for whatever reasons) Captcha doesn't seem to be the way forward.

Well as far as auto fillers go there are quite a few around, there more called auto posters or something though, there are alot of programs around that will "read" and convert scanned in written text into a word document in times new roman, this is pretty much the same program that read and solves the captcha, sure they dont get it right 100% but there alot higher than 19% especially on omething like recaptcha, that is made eaiser to understand on purpose. But really the main point is that in my opion Jagex like botters, it makes them a hell of alot of money, the amount of new bots that are paying members because of free trade, far out weighs the number of people who have quit or stop playing as member because of free trade/bots. Jagex make a tonne of money off them so i cant really see them activly trying to eradicate them any time soon sadly.
