Captcha - a bit much

lawred2 · 2018-05-11 07:08:20

Just had to do 6 straight captcha challenges to prove I wasn't a robot. 6 pictures of vehicles. I think that's a bit much for a forum no?

I'm afraid we don't have control over the number of captchas presented. The time taken to complete a captcha also seems to be taken into account nowadays, so if you look suspiciously like a robot it's going to present another to help it determine. Sorry about that.

It doesnt help when you see something in the distance that looks like it might be a vehicle and you start doubting yourself.

Serious. I try to reply to a post, it brings 3 screens of captcha, then the reply is not made when I look.

Sorry to hear that LorenzoB. When there is any strange traffic trying to access the site, Cloudflare will increase security and this means increased captchas for areas/IPs that might not normally have to go through them.

Note that captchas don't consider some vehicles, e.g. pedal cycles, to be vehicles.
