Noserenda Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Is anyone else finding this obnoxious? Every single trip i make to the FW website i have to through multiple Captcha puzzles and it deters about half my idle curiosity visits.Or is it because i was being pedantic once and insisting there is a difference between a ship and a boat :P AenarIT, StrangerOrders, Grim Dog Studios and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372454-forgeworld-captcha/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Lightstar Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I get it every time I try to get straight to the site, but if I go to the FudgeWorld site from the link on the GW site it seems to be fine. Just weird and annoying.

Valkyrion Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Yeah, it's a right pain. I've never seen as many buses and boats in all my life. Sometimes, once you've looked at 8 buses, the trains start to look like buses so you end up getting wrong. Maybe I am a robot.

WrathOfTheLion Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Yeah, this is really annoying. I've almost stopped any curiosity browsing on FW. I don't know what the hell is going on, but even a couple hours off makes you need to redo the captcha. I'm really tired of looking at buses, trains and airplanes. lansalt, BadgersinHills, Allart01 and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372454-forgeworld-captcha/#findComment-5767659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyriks Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm not having to verify hardly at all. This might have to do with cookie settings or being logged in or something, but I regularly go weeks without needing to do a captcha. There was a point where I was seeing them more, though.

Re: off topic, of course happy to defer to a moderator on that, but it was an edited transcript of the Voigt Kampff test from Bladerunner, which is that universe's method of discerning a real human from a robot, tweaked to make it relevant to Forge World and the ongoing thread joke of buses and boats.

Wulf Vengis Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) It's all part of the greater conspiracy to roll all the GW sites into one site and in the process weed out any Necrons lurking within modern humanity. As we all know the Emperor is truly in control of GW and wants only to safeguard humanity until the next phase of our evolution.

Firedrake Cordova Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Can't say I've seen a Captcha on the FW site recently. It wouldn't surprise me if theye were using Cloudflare Bot Management to add it at periods of high activity as an anti-bot measure (assuming that lots of activity = presence of bots, obviously) Edited November 28, 2021 by Firedrake Cordova Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372454-forgeworld-captcha/#findComment-5767887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yncarne Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Sad. Latest CAPTCHA doesn’t need the user to select images by default, only if the odds of a bot are high. Google recommends CAPTCHA on forms pages, not homepages.

WrathOfTheLion Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I think maybe they've toned it down slightly over the past week or two? I think it happens less now, but it had been pretty obnoxious for like six months for me.
