When we try to send the link via email, a fancy bot-excluding verification code comes up in a green box forces some of us to reach out to our keyboard with squinting eyes to chicken peck at the keyboard. It bugs the heck out of me.

I think it's time for me to boldly suggest retiring it.

I understand that it is to block possible bots - so perhaps it would be a good idea to no longer request the verification code for members who have:

1. logged in and confirmed their email?
   
2. Or been with videosift for over a month?
   
3. (my favorite:) or have successfully forwarded a video by email 3 times?
   

I was inspired by Facebook's verification method when sending a message via their system, which I believe is my first suggestion point
