Is it normal that I keep getting prompted every 5 minutes or so by Cloudflare to verify I'm a human when using this site lately? Seems to have started in the last day or so. It's rather frustrating.

Same here. Started yesterday after a server error message.

I only got the server error.

I'd rather have the prompts than the bots tbh

It does get a bit annoying though. Such a prompt (if reliable) would be nice at sign-up, that would be enough for most bots (other than hacked old accounts), wouldn't it?

But you come across as a spammer with your tik tok bs, So Seeya!!

With the conclusion that the check does not work......

It will never work against manual spam by a human. If it works against a majority of bots, that would still be an improvement.

I'd rather see a daily spam post than deal with a verification interstitial every 5 minutes.

Same.

Haven't heard anything from the admins. The admin/mod forum is pretty dead.

All the higher ups are on vacation or maybe it’s parade day or something 🤷🏻

And that's where we come in when we spot a suspicious post like Tikvidos's. We report, they get removed if found guilty.

The current setting is annoying, yes, but I hope there's some room for a more sensible adjustment. Let's see what Katherine will say, when she drops in here. I can live with the inconvenience for a day or two.

Just getting back from being away since Thursday, I can ask tech, but definitely being prompted by cloudflare every 5 minutes is not regular. I'm wondering if it is because of Cloudflare themselves, and the issues that have been reported today. If anything, I have to suggest to clear cache and cookies, and see if you all keep getting prompted the human verification.

It's cloudflare themselves.
