Is Yahoo Chat Listening
By Ashish MohtaYahoo Chat rooms had been famous for years for having filled with 80% of bots beating out the human population there. Soon they came up with not so good idea of setting up a capthca check when a users request to join the chat rooms. Well it served for a while but then again it was seen by many users that bots are still able to access to free yahoo chat rooms or as we say free online yahoo chat. I got this first comment telling me about bots access to chat rooms

bots can still go in. that verification thing is useless.
The worst scenarios of Capthca Checks are:

- Every time you change rooms you have to do a captcha check. Now that’s really stupid , would you use gmail if you have to signin everytime ?
- Users are not able to login to chat rooms even if they verify capthca correctly. Here are some messages which I received as comments on my Yahoo Cpatcha posts and I still get it.
- Bots are everywhere in chat rooms now

when I say I can’t get through, I mean if I get to the chatroom
and I click on the link ,to get to the security check, nothing happen
so I can not enter the chatroom
Fedup with Verification |
this code verification is an useless thing especially for people like me who frequently change chat rooms.first of all when we click the verification link it takes atleast 5 seconds for the browser to open the link[sometimes when the processor is busy the screen freezes].
when U don’t type the code within 5 minutes or something U are not taken to chat room,instead it gives some error message when U try to verify it after 5 minutes
This is an irritating process indeed.Yahoo really needs to find a way to control the bots on the server side not on the user side.Give the users the liberty to chat without interruptions[Bots R even better than this verification process which always interupts]

today yahoo is too hard to enter chat rooms what’s happening? hope U could fix the crap…even how many times I click the captcha.cha on the screen it wont really work,i could not really enter its getting hard for us
I would like to ask the yahoo messenger blog :
Do you have a solution for all these problems users are facing ? I know you are aware of it but we would like to hear from you if you are doing something ? Is yahoo chat room going to be just for bots or Humans will get an entry . We all hope to hear from you
