403 page is the hardest one. Hard captchas don't actually let users in, just annoy them, make them not bother anymore and make the website owners think they are successfully fighting bots, while they are fighting real users. The bots are likely the only ones who have a chance solving hard captchas, because they don't give up.

I realise that, but I'm making an experimental site where I want that feeling in the users but hopefully making the 'reward' better. I don't want to give the idea away. I understand the problem with captchas and agree with you in general.
