I frequently get CAPTCHAs when using TOR to explore ads and escort websites. E.g., myproviderguide.com almost always makes me prove that I can tell the difference between a house and a potted plant.
OTOH, I don't think that I ever got [edit: that kind of] a CAPTCHA from TER.
HOWEVER! There seem to be several TOR nodes that will not connect to TER at all. I get timeout errors, "cannot reach node" errors and stuff like that. When I ping TER via some TOR nodes, I get 100% packet loss; traceroute cannot find a path to TER.
EDIT: Just got a PM from BPsan. Must clarify. I do get TER generated CAPTCHAs on TER web forms when performing certain functions on and within the TER website. Problem reports, contact us, etc. Those tend to be the simpler "copy the code" captchas. I get those captchas directly from TER whether or not I am using TOR.
OP mentioned that he "had to identify certain squares in the picture the objects that were of the subject matter." Those are the captchas I get for ads and websites. If OP was reading reviews and clicked on an outside like he might have gotten that subject-squares captcha.
In regular TER board posts, some submitted images do not load automatically. If I right-click and choose "View Image" I might get a subject-squares captcha from the image hosting site. That site recognizes the TOR node as being very active and possibly a bot so the user (me) has to captcha prove that he isn't a bot.
