Captcha - a bit much

    Just had to do 6 straight captcha challenges to prove I wasn't a robot.

    6 pictures of vehicles.

    I think that's a bit much for a forum no?

    I'm afraid we don't have control over the number of captchas presented. The time taken to complete a captcha also seems to be taken into account nowadays, so if you look suspiciously like a robot it's going to present another to help it determine. Sorry about that.

    It doesnt help when you see something in the distance that looks like it might be a vehicle and you start doubting yourself.

    Serious. I try to reply to a post, it brings 3 screens of captcha, then the reply is not made when I look.

    Sorry to hear that LorenzoB. When there is any strange traffic trying to access the site, Cloudflare will increase security and this means increased captchas for areas/IPs that might not normally have to go through them.

    Note that captchas don't consider some vehicles, e.g. pedal cycles, to be vehicles.
