    You have the pose/shape of a woman

  • Not all answers require an image captchas anonymous or not. I answered around 20 questions yesterday and one had one image captchas.

    Almost ALL questions and answers require it now. You HAVE to POST the question or answer BEFORE you make it anonymous. It's a security measure, but it isn't going to stop the PAID human spammers.

    They should be the ones to need it...they are usually the trolls. Check out repeat trolling 'questions' they are almost exclusively anonymous.

    Oh, it's not just "anons", but I think it obvious. ("anons" often ask what they THINK are "edgy" questions, like "why was Hitler so bad?" or "why do women love abortions?")
