    I hate it ! Well establish directory do not use image varification, why do all the small directory :eek: use them. I wish no one use them.

    Hahaha

    I guess nobody dares to SPAM Alive/Aviva -- but the SPAMMERS will always SPAM if there is no image verification by way of bombarding submissions with their automated softwares.

    Images atleast give somethings for humans to be involved.

    I don't use them and haven't had any problems since removing them.

    Verifications are annoying.. I think they should be placed up when there's spam coming in.. other than that, it's best to leave it out !

    Using PHPLD 3.1 no problem with SPAM, without image validation.

    I think we should tell all the directory owner's to remove image varification when say announce thier directory. There is no need for them.
