Yahoo Chat room word verification

We all know how the spam bots have been capturing Yahoo Chat rooms since some time. Many regular chatters have already quit using Yahoo chat rooms as it is full of bots which keep posting links to pr0n websites. Yahoo has now tried to stopped this by asking users to type in the word and prove that the user is not a bot. Here is how it works...You login to your messenger and try to join a chat room by clicking on a room name and clicking on 'Goto Room'...

Once you are in the room you see no one but my old friend the 'Chat Admin'. :D . On the main screen you see the link to tell Yahoo that you are not a bot...

 

You come to a page where you need to enter the words and verify your account...

Once this is done, you are back in the same room with many more 'VERIFIED' chatters and no bots. :) ..

I was a regular chatter in Yahoo Chat rooms when I was in college and it was fun then. This is a good move by Yahoo to get more people on chat rooms and get rid of spam bots. My personal experience says that the bots will come up with a bypass for his word verification pretty soon.

    You will get a link in the chat room which you need to visit. A page will open once you click the link which has the verification code.
