What is the Verification Text?

A. The distorted verification text image you see on the registration form is a security test that prevents malicious computer programs from registering false accounts on our website. Current computer programs cannot read the distorted verification text but humans usually can. If you are having problems reading the text, simply click the “Try another” button to get a new verification text. This kind of test that tries to tell the difference between computers and humans is called a “Turing Test”. This particular test called a “CAPTCHA”. This is an acronym for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. Read more about CAPTCHA on Wikipedia.
