McCaptcha

>It's created by the CIA to dataminine my burgers or something

McCaptcha is coal.

McCaptcha was one of the in-house CAPTCHA systems used on the Sharty. It was developed and put into use seemingly in response to the my transbian ass 'cordbot. The input method was to click on a blurry soyjak and type something into the text box. According to NuDev, there was also a "trust system" that made posting more convenient for 'teens, similar to 4chan's ReCaptcha. It was infamous for being borderline unreadable for some users, and BTFO'ing newfags by including forced, obscure variants. It has since been replaced by Quote's proof of work captcha, but is still used here on Soyjak Wiki.

History

Roughly around the time that Root was welcomed on board as admin, a Discord user was running a botnet similar to Babybot to ravage multiple boards on the Sharty. This prompted the rapid development of McChallenge. The 'cord bot was shut down by its implementation, but the captcha itself annoyed soyteens. A "trust system" was introduced made the captcha more convenient, but it was almost immediately rolled back several times.

For general purposes, the McCaptcha was replaced by the McChallenge, a very similarly named captcha. Following the introduction of its successor, McCaptcha was removed from most boards, starting with /soy/. During this phase, it stopped being updated.

As of June of 2024, /q/ and /nate/ are the only non-locked boards the McCaptcha remains on. Due to concerns over botting, it was added to /uni/, during its brief existence in August. This proved the McCaptcha continued to be useful to Froot's administration, despite its obsolescence.

On August 30th, McCaptcha was added to McChallenge, creating a captcha-ception.

As of November 20th, McCaptcha is used during the following scenarios:

• When making a new post on the Sharty (without a gempass)
• When making an account and editing anonymously on Soyjak Wiki

As of January 2025, it has been completely abandoned outside the 'ki.

as of 08/10/2025 the captcha returned, few days later , the spammer who attacks them is being faced with unsolvable captchas, to troll xim
