Anybody besides me tired of constant captchas getting here?

[Janus]

A general question about an irritant.

I have been getting hit with captchas visiting this site ~7/8 of the time.
Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me?

Running latest seamonkey, 2.53.2, as of this writing.
It is a suite rather than just a bare browser, which I prefer.
Has large degree of current firefox compatibility.

At first it went through easily.
Over time however, I had to either retry, or pass a captcha.
The last few weeks in particular, I have had to do the captcha thing over and over, basically every time.
It has gotten bad enough I have not been checking things here as often as I prefer because of the frustration.

I would like to know if others are having this problem, or if it is just me.

I have also had this problem occur under Google Chrome 83 on Windows 7 Professional, on Google Chrome 49 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, Chromium on Linux Mint 19.3, and on TenFourFox on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. Considering how long it's been, Cloudflare has done its job but has become more trouble then it's worth (especially when I want to check the Forums while I'm on Windows XP or MacOS 9.2.2).

And I let this it long enough while check that this had an affect on TenFourFox that I had to go through another Captcha.

I occasionally get captchas - including just now. It seems to be happening for most members in the Americas but not members elsewhere.

Ever since the captchas were first implemented, they simply never left me alone! There wasnt a single morning that i didnt have to check the captcha... for the last two months or so!

I'm using Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 PC (because specific browsers are for certain things for me), and Google Chrome on a Moto E6 Play (Android 9).

As of today, I still didn't experience the Capcha problem. It still leads me straight to the site. I'll update if it eventually comes to me

I put an addon onto Firefox...takes care of it for now. I can see the "usefulness" for non-members, but for registered members (who have already proved they're not bots) it is just plain annoying.

(Translation: I am absolutely sick of them!!!!)

Happens every time for me.

[jujuapapa]

Same causes, same effects for everybody !

[Tegmine]

Does it actually serve a purpose? Aside from annoying the living?

Bots usually have problems recognizing pictures of the named objects.

FWIW, I haven't experienced any for several days.

[cubicApoc]

Meanwhile I get one several times a day.

On one computer I have it sometimes, on another with a few useful addons I'm even unable to load all required crap. But when I see it I never select required images and always pass verification

As of today, I still didn't experience the Capcha problem. It still leads me straight to the site. I'll update if it eventually comes to me

And I still can access the Forums without any capchaas of now. Weird

For me, it continues to get worse.

Now I have to do captcha every visit, no exceptions.
I have gone so far as trying it, getting a captcha, then closing my web browser, and trying it again after relaunch.
Nothing I do is making any difference.
Getting sick of picking out trains, planes & bicycles.
The fact that it happens several times a day, even when I visited only hours before, is infuriating.

The part that puzzles me is that at first, it only delayed a few seconds, once in a while up to ten seconds, then went through.
When I started getting the captchas, I would close the window, then reclick the link, and it would go through.
After a while it took two tries, then three, when it reached seven, I resorted to doing the captchas.

I am considering just checking in once a week, or every other week, until the captcha thing starts working properly again.

I just got another captcha just to check this, Cloudflare either needs to get its captchas to behave or it needs to go.

[MrSpace43]

I get one between about once every few days, and once every week. I just refresh the page again to skip it.

[LukeCEL]

For me I rarely get captchas. However, when I go to https://celestia.space/forum/, often Cloudflare doesn't let me in the first time, but seems to "reload" again and again.

[Anthony_B_Russo10]

I just had two captchas in a row to get here.

[Gurren Lagann]

So far, the captcha (or what i like to call the "Captchavirus") has appeared and infected in:
North America (I only saw reports from the US so far)
South America (I got it, being a brazillian)
Western Europe (Russia didnt get it yet)
India (someone on Discord got the forum captchas as well)

[trappistplanets]

i hate those things
