browser checks

Post by eelstrebor » Fri Jun 05, 2020 2:29 pm

I was trying to post a reply to someone and got this browser check message thrown in my face and lost everything I typed in. What's with this browser check nonsense? This is the only site that I visit that does this. Not happy wasting my time.

Sorry about that. It should only check your browser once. Unfortunately, there are a lot of immature people (even corporations) out there who try to hack this forum and/or shut it down with bot attacks. They don't want more people learning about the big dish as their failing pay tv services collapse. :cool2

This website gives the browser check every time I visit it. Normal websites don't do this. This is the first site I've seen that requires filling out a captcha every time you visit it.

There has to be a better way to protect against bot attacks.

It should work better now. Many people hide behind vpns and other proxies (like the bots) which are targeted by the firewall.

How does the site work for you now?
