Scandal! KS Forums discriminating against visually impaired!
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:04 am
So, after reading the threads here for quite a while, i decided to join yesterday evening to participate actively...then it happened.
When creating a new account, KS Forums prompts you to pass a security check to stop spam accounting by naming the character with purple hair.
Purple hair?
I was perplexed.
As I'm suffering from a certain form of colour blindness that lets me see colours, though, but some of them in a other way a non-visually-impaired person would, I asked myself who the hell was the one with the purple hair?
After trying what I thought would be matching candidates, I was denied every single time. So, obviously, one of the last ones I tried was Hanako, who has black hair in the way I can see it, and now we had our match. The problem was, I was blocked from registrating for the time of the current session because I had too many false inputs before.
Also, the time of the session was not mentioned so I had to wait until now, in the morning, to create my account and log in.
A game that deals that respectfully with disabilities like KS lets its forum discriminate against the impaired...who would have thought??
Burn them, burn them on the stake for that!
Nah...don't take me that seriously.
What I'm suggesting is that you might want to change your way of checking into another question, for example, "Who is the character that wears a tie?" or "Which one wears a scarf?" or "Who has the nicest hair drills" for god's sake...
But it hit me hard to be blocked by a simple spam check who confronted me with a problem of mine that otherwise has hardly any relevance in my daily life.
I'm looking forward to contributing here - so keep it up!
