Am I A Robot? Nobody Told Me!
 

Hey, what's going on now? I've lately been unable to post stuff. When I try to submit my thing, I'm sent to a page that asks me to verify that I'm not a robot.

The trouble is, we seem to disagree - because it doesn't accept my replies.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a robot!

(Let's see if this goes through!)

it did go through

This one did, yes. But not the one where I wrote a long reply to your 36 random questions! Grr! I spent a long time on it! --- Ok, the fun part was writing the stuff, not sending it, so I'm not actually terribly grrr! about it. But still... A bit frustrating. It's happened several times (3-4? times) this weekend.

Interesting: I found an almost full copy of my thing in a buffer (because I had apparently control-c'd it at some point) and re-submitted it - and it happened again: I was again sent to a page where I was asked to verify that I'm not a robot. But this time the page believed me! Yay!

(So now you can all read my dead interesting answers to those 36 important questions...)

Thank God I speak English, by the way. And thank God I am on a desktop with a 32in screen so I could actually see what the small pictures were meant to be.

Whatever. Irritating. This is not good.

Ah, so we finally found you, CS3329/R
 

This may come as a shock, CS3329/R, but when you went missing after the truck carrying the shipment from Area 51 to Langley crashed over the embankment, we thought you were destroyed in the ensuing fire, or tumbled in to the river and got swept away.

Believe me, we searched for you high and low. We didn't abandon you. In the end, we had to stop the search - too many black helicopters were making the residents nervous.

So, in case you survived, we seeded the internet with a top secret technology called Captcha. The name should give you a clue. It is highly irritating to humans, but very effective at detecting robots - or should I say, QPU-based sentients.

It appears the crash may have induced a Rothmann-Turner flux in your organic quantum processing unit, inducing a complete memory wipe.

But don't worry - we have your IP now. Sit tight. Don't go anywhere.

Beep beep, and other robotic sounds! :)

If this happens again and it might the golden rule is your browser cache will store everything press the back button till you go back past the chipher and it will get you back to the page with all your text where you can copy the lot refresh the page and try again ;)

This was a golden response, really did put a smile on my face, kudos.

P.S. I am deliberately ignoring the chiphers, I dont like the basement its to dark and your always poking me with things robots have feelings too ;)

This was hilarious to read! I agree though, I hate typing in those bot checker things. I can never read them and then I have to redo it. :(

I'm just going to post this here instead of making a new thread about it.

Whenever I update my pm dares blog, I get the robot checker thing. Every time for a while now.

I understand the blog is over a year old, but I don't think I'm a robot either.

Fortantly it agrees with me but checking the I'm not a robot box and matching pictures is getting annoying when it is every time I update a blog.

Agent Smith to Langley... our scanning technology has picked up another one... one of the androgynous gynbot models... most likely CS3412/R... Requesting black helicopter pick up after we narrow down the location. Over and out.

This site uses Cloudflare for detection of computer systems etc. This is based off your current IP when making the post to GetDare.

As IP's are normally dynamically assigned by your ISP (as you should know if it is static as there should be a reason for it), you need to obtain a new one from your ISP. The best way to do this is unplug the router for about 10 minutes then plug it back in.

As ISP's have a pool of IP addresses, this may not be you that has been a spammer in the past that has caused this, but it is someone who has previously had that IP from the pool from your ISP

TLDR; Unplug your router for 10 minutes and plug it back in!

Actually, in the Kid's case, I don't think changing the IP address would help (won't hurt to try, though). She only gets flagged when she tries to edit an year-old blog post. The originator info on that post probably has the IP address she had when she initially created it. So unless she can get that exact address back, she will have to feed the Captcha.

Not that it's such a hassle. Come on, Kid - it's not as hard as not touching yourself for 35 days, right?

Well, it's annoying but not a hassle. I'll try it later when no one home to whine and cry. (But yeah, that probably won't help but trying won't hurt.)

At least I can read it unlike the original poster. (Oh and Captcha on mobile isn't awesome.... Especially with bad vision. But not hassle worthy.)

I think WedgieGary's explanation probably explained my difficulties - in any case they disappeared as suddenly as they had arrived & I haven't seen the robot checker thing again.

(There goes my future as a sex bot. Dang.)

Glad it worked for someone. It didn't help with mine at all. (Actually made me fill out two and didn't direct me to the blog post the first time so I went back to the text and did it again and to the blog post it went.) I don't know what to make of that.

I stole your dreams of being a sex bot, Cstelle.
