1. have math questions, as captcha doesnt seem to work for you
2. implement random auth checks like sending a particular set of characters to yahoo server for auth
3. how about community filtering? have a report bot option and if an id is reported more than a pre set instance, then ban that ID is banned.

come on guys, I am sure it should be a piece of cake to implement some new stragety to get rid of bots.

Or Yahoo has a contract with the x rated industry to provide a platform for free pornographic advertising? There is no one else in the chat rooms but bots, young scamers and old perverts... The captcha is just a great nuisance...and an absolute flop. Nice going.... Why don’t Yahoo just do us all a favor and close the chat rooms and put them out of their misery?

Though things where ran differently back in the day too. If I remember correctly there used to be live techs in the official rooms watching for bots. Maybe they'll think of the old days. *shrugs shoulders* Oh do I remember the days of Yahoo Chat when one could join user created rooms and chat with free speech unaware of the future in which bots created by man would soon take over.

Wots the point? The bots are back and have been from the first week - captcha code is now being used to lock real people out.
