All versions of reCAPTCHA are letting bots through #51

Albeit at a much higher rate for v1 than for v2. But even with a low solve rate for v2, bots get through because validation is between Google and the user, meaning 4chan has no way to ban IPs that get the captcha wrong too many times.

The captcha needs to be replaced with a non-Google solution ASAP.

Sorry for not being API related. Posted this in feedback also, but I'm not sure how closely that's monitored anymore.
