Title: Validation Code Change

While I disagree with the constant validation code thing, I realize that it is not going anywhere. Don't think this is a banned suggestion. However, there are those of us in this world that are color deficient. This means that we struggle with some of the validation codes. One of the ones I can think of offhand is the black box with red writing and while I realize that there is a button for it to be read to you, it takes entirely too long when you are trying to do recruiting. Would it really be that hard to stick with black and white or even do some research on what colors would not cause people like me to struggle so hard with reading them?

I don't see why the Validation codes are added at all... i don't know how its scheduled but i only get it a couple times a month that i have to put it in, but it still seems pointless... Could the Validation Code just be removed, its simply an annoyance

Its to keep anybody from running any scripts or creating any bots in the game (so like they can't send 500 messages with a script...unless that script can somehow amazingly read captcha than they can't send but so many messages.

I realize why they are there and not really objecting to them, just asking to make them more user friendly for those of us who have a visual disability. I'm not blind so I don't need them read to me, just simply color deficient. It just really makes them hard to read.

Most captchas can be broken without too much effort anyway. It just means any attempt will have to be more determined than a simple cURL script running from a remote host.

For most users they shouldn't appear too often at all - because how many messages do you actually send in a month? If you send a lot you'll see them more often.

I send numerous messages out every day. Therefore, I see these every day.
