Can you find out the correct input?

Please remove Captcha from a.m. page, even if you have no similar replacement. We want to invite people to contribute, not to keep them away with minefields. 

I understand that abuse has to be prevented, but this particular Captcha is a nuisance. I saw it from time to time on other pages, and I never contacted or joined there, because after some attempts to get in I was enraged enough to say goodbye for ever, and today I read about similar complaints on <discuss@de.libreoffice.org>.

The Audio Description of that Captcha is a slap for blind people.

If the experience is that we should protect page from abuse by a Captcha, please use a much more simple, Accessibility proved one.

And please check whether we have this Captcha also on other pages and remove it there, too.

I can confirm the problem and also advocate a change.

sorry, wrong language in my last reply. Should read:

I removed the Captcha from the above 'Mitmachen' form. If it raises noise/abuse I'll install it again.
