I just got an "Unauthorized Access" warning

Saying my IP was being blocked by the site's firewall.

Had to enter a captcha to restore access.

A few people have encountered this, mods included.

We believe the reason it happens is our bot detector is mis-firing occasionally.
Fortunately, after the Captcha is passed, it hasn't been blocking anyone afterwards.

@ThirdStringRFer I've had this happen, if you're using a vpn I believe it views some of the ip's used as possible spam/ robots and makes one do the captcha test, happens about once every 5 days.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm definitely not using a VPN though.

Just got the Captcha request error a second time just now.

What browser were you using and can you try using a different browser?

Using Brave

@ThirdStringRFer
It's probably our bot detector malfunctioning
