As you may read or see Yahoo! was finally back to fight with lobby spam bots a while ago . But that was a bad captcha (confirmation codes) which using six hard type (bold) letters to us to verify but i was having very hard times to read them on my 1920×1200 screen resulation , especially the bold fonts. That was a bad confirmation code for humans but it was no problem for the spam bots to solve so it didn’t effect them.

Now Yahoo! change the old one and have a new confirmation code .It has only 4 letters which can be read easier. If you still unable to read them Yahoo! add the audio code which is a good move.Of course this update means they got that humans can’t read the old confirmation code and it didn’t stop the bots.Oh and i know this new code will not stop bots also.

I saw some players using strange characters even in bold fonts in Yahoo! game lobbies. I was thinking script kiddies hacked something again but after Hatta’s comment (Thanks Hatta for your input) i realized that it may possible they are using some different language characters in global game rooms. Here how they look

This may look cute but Yahoo! Games team should really patch it before more users learn it and spam our lobbies like hell.
