arghyle.com — When submitting a comment to Digg you have to read text from an image and type in the characters for authentication. This is done in order to prove that you “are human” and that the item is not being submitted by some sort of script or bot. This works well enough, but for Digg’s users, especially frequent submitters, it is quite annoying...

Does diggs captcha even work? It seems like it would be really easy to crack.

Uh... I don't have to do any of that. I just log in once (via the home page) and I comment till my ears bleed. No authentication for me!The only time I get that authentication screen is when I accidentally put in the wrong password during initial log in...Maybe I'm just special...

That's the way it works for me, too. If Digg starts making people jump through hoops, they'll be much less likely to comment.

Really? When I signed up I don't think that existed, I've never had to do a captcha for posts, just for submitting stories.

The only time I have to enter it is when submitting stories, which is annoying as well. But yea, I don't have to do it for comments.
