WTF?

All of a sudden there's a "captcha?" to access the site when I'm sending a PM?

Disregard. I apparently included too much text in the PM I was sending.

Nothing to do with PMs

I got hit by the captcha posting SEE chapter 93. The first time I have ever seen one at this site.

I don't like things like that, especially when posting a big form.

I'm assuming it is just one of Erin's ways to keep the spammers out, although I did note it came from Cloudflare, not BCTS.

CloudFlare CAPTCHA's

Cloudflare uses an alogrithm to present CAPTCHA's to random posters, the algorithm tries to target suspected spammers but there is a certain amount of randomosity to it, too. It has helped, and I'm sorry when it presents a problem to regular users. It's the nature of the internet that we need things like this.

Hugs,

no worries from me.

As soon as I reduced the amount of text I was attempting to post in the PM, the captcha vanished and I got my PM accomplished. If this is the price we gotta pay to keep Top Shelf secured, I'm in favor of it. Thanks Erin.
