Every answer I post is asking me to do a CAPTCHA verification. This is very much frustrating.

I have been in stackexchange network for quite a while.

Does this happens to the beta sites?

  • Seems to be related to my Chrome filters. Once turned off for the site, problems went away... I must have done that ages ago for the other Stack sites I'm on.

If you are asking/answering/editing a lot of things in a row, it tends to up the number of times you get a CAPTCHA. I don't know the rate at which you are posting things, but that might be part of the problem.

From a Meta.SO post:

trigger CAPTCHA while editing, asking, or answering:

The minimum window is 5 seconds The maximum window is 40 minutes There is a maximum of:

one edit every 30 seconds one answer every 60 seconds one question every 60 seconds To trigger CAPTCHA while doing performing other actions, there are throttles of various sizes depending on the action -- it's mostly a "slow down" speed bump to inhibit potentially dangerous "I'm going to post obscene things as fast as possible!" situations.

  • I haven't been that fast...

  • Hmm...I don't know then, unfortunately - all of my meta.SO research leads to a question of speed. :(

  • Seems to have settled down... I don't normally see that kind of thing happening, but maybe there was a pattern to it.

  • Or it was just a temporary bug that fixed itself. :)
