Thread: Captcha??

  1. Default

    Why are you removing pertinent Evony contact information?

    Last 3 or 4 posts I have made have included pertinent, valid contact information and emails for Evony, as listed by their own websites. They have been removed. People have valid and legitimate concerns with the way this server and others are being monitored and regulated. Why have those posts been removed? They do nothing but quote Evony itself and offer additional contact information.

    We're not going to debate any legal issues here. The ADA does not apply to websites and this entire argument is fairly absurd. If you wish, feel free to complain to whatever legal authority you like, but keep it off the forums, please.




    I like image captchas but it may be that they are more solvable by bots, or there could be technical or other limitations with using them in the context of this game.

    Actually, Dawn and neko lord, you should stick to those areas in which you profess to have some expertise. Law isn't one of them. Websites have been subject to ADA since 1996. Nuff said.

    Removed again.... thankfully we have skype, and cut and paste. Must mean something, if you keep removing it from the forum, right? As a legitimate contact website?

    Acer5200, are you zapping this? Talk to me...

    That image was quite obviously JBrontosaurusB4. While a captcha is an imperfect solution to an imperfect problem, it is a step. I've seen personally that since implementation the server has been running significantly better.

    have you considered running for the US house of reps or the Senate?

    you'd make a great politician with statements like that and in fact sound like a good many of them right now

    Judgement of a case on May 17, 2011

    Ouellette v. Viacom and YouTube, LLC

    http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives...r_ruling_1.htm

    After breezing through those claims, the magistrate takes a little more time with the ADA claim. The plaintiff is dyslexic. The magistrate summarizes his contention: "he alleges those Defendants discriminated against him based on his reading disability, and deprived him of access to their internet services and their "online theater" - a "place of public accommodation" governed by the ADA." Citing the AccessNow v. Southwest Airlines case, the magistrate says "an internet website, by itself, is not an actual place, or a physical, concrete structure that would qualify as a place of public accommodation under the ADA." Similar to the discussion in yesterday's Young v. Facebook ruling, the magistrate responded:

    His allegations fail to identify any actual, physical place where Defendants' services are made available, and fail to assert any connection between the internet websites he sought to access, and any actual, physical structure or facility through which Defendants' services could be accessed or provided. To the contrary, Ouellette alleges only that Defendants' conduct has impeded his access to certain internet websites
    In approving the magistrate report, the judge rejects the plaintiff's objection that a website's servers are the requisite physical place:

    Neither a website nor its servers are "actual, physical places where goods or services are open to the public," putting them within the ambit of the ADA. Weyer v. Twentieth Cent. Fox Film Corp., 198 F.3d 1104, 1114 (9th Cir.2000). The public access production facility might amount to such a place, but there is no nexus between the websites and Ouellette's inability to access that physical place.
    Nevertheless, these rulings are a useful warning to future plaintiffs that it's frivolous to argue that websites are governed by the ADA...
    You can argue that they should improve the visibility, but they are not required to under law as per the existing multiple example cases that have been attempted.

    well i haven't seen anyone this blunt so i'll just come out and say it.
    captcha stays, I'm gone and all my money with me.

    you guys haven't done anything to fix an 8 month old server but make it harder to play it. Lag is still unbearable and i get a joke present if i solve a puzzle and kicked off if i don't. If i wanted to play a puzzle game i'd play a puzzle game.

    see you all on the next hot game that replaces this one.

    the problem seems to be Evony is trying to balance fair play for all with the needs of the game. Yes it is hard to time attacks or even attack a city within a 30 min window. (Or sooner as some have stated) Those with poor eyesight, perhaps an audible captcha is in the works. It does make the game play more of a challenge. But in the grand aspect of things it will remove those who abuse the current tos. And if it is a pain to some then so be it. If it removes the ones abusing the system even better. It is not happening on my server, but I would welcome it. It would be nice to attack a city and not have it auto comfort/rebuild walls. So maybe just maybe Evony is trying to obtain a much needed goal. Now if they could just stop new accounts from being created on the later servers THAT WOULD BE GREAAAAATTT.. Chin up ss57, Im sure they will get it right.

    The views expressed in this post do not reflect the thoughts and opinions of those on ss57. They are shared by someone who is frustrated with botting and would like to see it end.
