Lago 2572 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Happened to me a while back. Some sort of DDoS protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever 2648 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yep, just for DDoS protection. It's been happening for... well, for at least 6 months+ now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndikate 2303 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This is DDoS protection. It only occurs on certain IP addresses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxforbraynz 251 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This is what is known as a CAPTCHA. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA ) They're used to prevent machines from automatically doing things such as create accounts or make changes to important info. They make sure that the account/changers were made by a human as it's very hard, if not impossible for a machine to decipher them. It's simply a security measure. It happens from time to time and can most commonly be seen in the Minecraft community on Minecraft Server voting sites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2232 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's CloudFlare - the aforementioned DDOS protection that we run on the website - and that screen is displayed as it has detected that you have entered something which it associates with common spam-bots. You simply need to type in the CAPTCHA - no need for a comment or anything, press Request Access and it'll proceed as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
