I can understand lowering the bots and they will continue to claim no matter what they get, but bots also probably won't be searching through a forum to fix their account because they wouldn't notice.
This is the bit a lot of people are not getting. The botnets buy captcha solves in bulk, if we pay less than the cost to them they are forced to stop. They have become so sophisticated now that this is the only way we can make them stop.
You don't have to spend everything on lottery tickets you can play a bit of Hi-Lo game or even make a deposit and it is all taken into the calculation.
I cant log in to my account

the verification mail never gets to me
Try any other email address you may have used and if that doesn't help then PM me user ID and the email address and I'll get wetsuit to have a look.
