just another security step you have to go thru if the server detects you are accessing the site from a remote IP address.
I am outside Canada in the states. The numbers were bad the words are obnoxious. 90% of the time, you can't read them at all, you have to keep refreshing till you get something you can read. I got the impression long ago that the mods don't care. Nice way to steer people away from the site.
I should look at posting through a proxy.
And I can get these obnoxious things every few minutes. There is no reason for this to occur that often. If anything it should only happen if you want to post something. Some sites do ask for a Turing Code when you post. The software they chose sucks. This happens on no other website I frequent.
Most of us who are getting it seem to be outside Canada, probably mostly in the US. I can't see how it really raises risk to terb to click the "whitelist USA" checkbox. If there is another DDOS they can quickly enable it everywhere. No good reason to run with this level of inconvenience when they're is not an actual attack. At least raise the number of minutes between captchas so we're only doing it once a day.
I haven't seen it either for a whole week. Good riddance. Am still in the Caribb. Different country.
I was in England checking terb last week, and capcha was hitting me every 5-10 minutes.
I was wondering what was happening until I searched about capcha and found this thread.
Capcha pictures are far worse
Concept seems easy enough (assemble a small puzzle) but I find most are so twitchy that it can be nearly impossible to line up every edge perfectly
@fuji I use US & do not get any capcha here
Is there an app that can convert capcha to something that humans can actually read?
