I get it, Cloudflare's CAPTCHA sucks

Post Reply New Topic

I've noticed a lot of people have been complaining about Cloudflare's CAPTCHA system, as it has been interfering with people's ability to post. I don't have too many problems with it, and I've figured out how to get around it, but I do feel sorry for all the people here who haven't been able to post because of it.

Anyway, does Cloudflare offer an alternative form of verification, like a "click on pictures of street signs" thing, or even better yet, something that works more silently without user intervention? There's gotta be a bug of some sort in the software that's mistaking people for bots... and allowing actual advertising bots to pass through. If that's not an option, can WP switch to another anti-DDOS package?

If anyone knows the technical details behind these problems, I'd like to hear them. I also think that we should try and devise solutions to these problems.
