Before everyone jumps on me, I know I have posted on this subject before: I know many people (moi included) can try MANY times and still get blocked. The current fence is not a workable thing.
Whether TGx, electrons or whoever is responsible for the PHP & the fence, why can't they change to a Captcha check that has pictures you tick to prove you are a living person????
Many sites I visit have these Picture Captchas, and I have never failed to get in once (Always was a better artist than a mathematician).
I am honestly thinking of moving to Demonoid if this problem is not fixed.
Now I have vented, time for breakfast and a nice cup of tea.
A BIG Merry Christmas  and a Bright and Happy New Year to All

I think Admin could address this i know the captiva and fence are a work in progress which we all should be aware of but it sounds like he has some good ideas at least!!Merry Christmas

Those Picture Captchas, made by Google and called ReCaptcha V2, with the multiple squares containing photos of:

stairs, monuments, cars, traffic lights, fire hydrants, crosswalk, palm trees, bridges, etc., etc.,

are not any better than the captcha TGX is using now.

Most of the time when you solve the ReCaptcha, it will still tell you it's wrong and you will get stuck in a never ending loop of new set of photos in squares.

Especially with VPN, ReCaptcha has already flagged a database full of VPN IP addresses from around the world.

I have never had a problem, sometimes  get second guess (Some of the pics are pretty poor quality) but never more than two tries. TGx fence sometimes 6 for me.
If I got a chance to choose, I'd opt for photo ID.
If Admin want to keep their little toy, why not have it that you log in with a captcha, then once in you stay inside the fence as long as you like. I think my eBay account runs on these lines.
I know we all have our ideas on this, but surely a sort of "think tank" might be the shot.
Anyhow, my Doctor told me not to stress out, so CYA all

that sux bribiewayne,

Unfortunately, most people could care less..  until it's actually happening to them.

For example, if the Fence started triggering on EVERY single page...... I'm sure there would be immediate action taken. But with just a few complaints here & there,  chances of an overhaul are pretty slim.

hang in there m8 B)
