Guess what? Spambots have been developed to pass common captchas! (wow - really?)

It's best to build something like "Write LOVE into the following field:" <input here>.
As these things are NOT common (there's only ONE forum I know that uses it and that's because I told its moderators to do so), spambots simply fail performing such easy tasks. Additionally this system would NOT expel visually handicapped people.

Long ago I heard that the Chinese or Koreans do webcam verifications to make sure that they are the actual gender they're signing up as in MMO's.
