Facebook Security Check – the facebook captcha – does it make sense?

What is Facebook Captcha? It is NOT Facebook Gotcha!, whatever that is, but is a way to limit the automatic posting of links on facebook or the “hyper-activity that can disturb other users”. It’s a

Facebook Security Check

which shows up when you put online TOO MANY links, or when they think you’re trying to “trick the system”, “over-promote yourself and your websites”, and so on. Most people do NOT get such a security check on facebook, but since I’m posting sometimes 3-4 links per hour(!!!) and also status updates, etc… every day I need to fill in these Facebook security checks. I have put some of them below(only SOME of them, I will definitely come up with more of them…) – most of them MAKE NO SENSE! Why would them? – facebook itself doesn’t make sense, it just offers a medium for people to connect, communicate, and share…

On the blog – especially on blogger.com – you get these captcha pictures which need you to fill in a field with the text in that picture…. but on WordPress – nope! I think it’s better to have a username and password, or use your facebook / twitter / wordpress / google credentials, or your OpenID…
