Experience the Worst User Registration System at digg.com - Four Captchas to Read

Submitted by kai on Mon, 2005-10-03 12:42. ::

I've been reading posts from from digg.com for a while. Last Fri, I decided to try to register as a user.
As usually, I was presented a screen to enter my information like user name, email, and password. Then a screen with four captchas was presented. I'd never encountered any site that asked a user to read more than one captcha!

What's more annoying was that some of the texts were not readable because of the mixed background colors although I am not color-blind. Some of the texts faded too much. I tried a couple more times and were not successful in getting by that screen.

I searched the team "digg captcha". Guess what? I am not alone. Check out the screenshot there. It's more human-readable than the ones I was presented.
