At present there are no known problems, can you get them to send a screen shot of the capcha our way?
Here's seven fairly unreadable ones, out of a random sample of about 40-50 refreshes.
Pooh, this is an opinion one, I can read each of those without issue. We'll have to see what options we have.

I don't think it's an opinion one as much as what a particular eye can see. In my case, I can read 'most' of them with little to no effort, but there were at least 3 that I had to squint or move closer to read. I've had perfect vision all of my life. What I don't understand is the value of having colored boxes that make it extremely difficult for the eyes to focus on the letters.
BTW, I understand what a captcha is and its intended purpose, but I would argue that this is only one step of many for preventing computer bots to invade the fedora project. Mitigation is the goal here, I don't think it's possible to eliminate all bots, but it is possible to eliminate a few potential contributors because of something simple like this getting in the way.
it's a new technology to us, I'd rather try to get it fixed before abandoning it.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting abandoning it, I think it's great. I just wonder if we could tone it down some. Sorry if I implied such a thing, I am excited to see that we're using CAPTCHA.
