Captcha is likely being triggered by Cloudflare. We have heard this feedback in this past and have listened but it's always a tricky balance of fighting abuse/bots and presenting an extra step for the user.
- moehm 5y agoSince we are at the topic of Cloudflare captchas, Namecheaps blog rss feed is "protected" by a captcha as well, defeating the purpose of a rss feed.
- ted0 5y agoI have no clue about our blog RSS feeds to be honest but I can ask the team.
- entropyie 5y agoAlso, as a general aside to web devs, if we need captchas, can we at least use something less obnoxious and more privacy friendly, like: https://friendlycaptcha.com/ https://friendlycaptcha.com/ I put this on my signup form and have had zero spam since, and it has very little impact on user experience. The fact that it doesn't feed the google surveillance machine is a bonus.
- zinekeller 5y agoCloudflare no longer uses Google's ReCaptcha, it's now using HCaptcha (https://blog.cloudflare.com/moving-from-recaptcha-to-hcaptcha/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/moving-from-recaptcha-to-hcaptch...)
- utucuro 5y agoHCaptcha is not without problems, it is monetized by selling ML model training to 3rd parties, where the images and the labelling requests come from. Personally, I do not wish to be employed to train ML models of 3rd parties unknown to me. I have no idea about what model I'm helping train and what it is going to be used for. Transparency in this regard would go a long way towards making HCaptcha friendlier (I'm not going to talk about the ethics of free labor this time, though those too ought to be discussed.)
- blibble 5y agobots? what are they doing on namecheap? buying domain names? (if they're hitting your domain checker you can configure cloudflare to only captcha protect that page...)
