Instead, I get asked to solve a complicated captcha. I solve it and it goes nowhere. I figured out it depends on post length. It should just tell the user that the post is too long.

PS: I didn't see it if this bug was already reported.

Actually, it used to be much worse.

If you put quotation marks and dashes in your post, it was automatically put into "captcha" mode. And even if you "passed" the captcha, the post still didn't go through. The only way for your post to go through was to get rid of the quotation marks and dashes.

And your post had to be less than about three paragraphs long.
