Why is this such a pain in the neck to ask a question?

Do you have an actual issue with the captcha, which has always worked on the odd time I've seen it, or is this a general moan about the necessity of the captcha?

Why is this such a pain in the neck to ask a question.

because of spammers, filling this site with loads of crap which we don't want to read. I don't mean you, just to explain why...

I can't ask a question because the captcha says it's wrong every time. If it's something simple as "123" or "356" it STILL doesn't work. 20 trys later I guess I give up...

Funny thing is, it works when posting an answer...

I just tested reCaptcha by creating a (new) test-account and did not encounter an issue anymore. There were some issues in the backend earlier that are fixed now.

I've been trying to post a question for 10 minutes, gone through 10's of captchas, no luck.

Hi,

I'm not being able to post a new question. Captcha says "invalid" all the time. Anything I could do to help debugging this problem?
