Title:
Allow users to pick with type of CAPTCHA test they see

Area:
comments, entries

Summary:
Allowing users to choose which type of CAPTCHA (text-based or graphic based) they will see/take through Manage Account.

Description:
Users choosing what type of CAPTCHA they will see/take allows greater accessibility.

I have dyscalculia and the text-based CAPTCHAs are full of arithmetic problems, thus I keep failing them. As of now, there's no way to choose which CAPTCHAs you will take, only what type of CAPTCHAs others will see in your journal.

I phrased myself particularly poorly, considering that I had in a large part intended my comment to prevent a potential flood of comments from people without insight into the actual antispam systems citing spam risk as a reason for not wanting this to happen. I didn't follow that train of thought far enough before leaving the comment.
