Captchas on the FE site just mean bots can buy cards faster while us mere humans struggle to get in before everything is sold out.
Also no purchase button ever available.

I think it's the flood protection checking your not a bot.I see that OcUK has now decided to throw in a "Captcha" test where one has to identify the "Crosswalks" before posting
WHAT?
does your mouse double click error or something?

I've not seen Captchas on here yet, but on many other sites yes. With low vision, I fail the tests most of the time, and audio playback isn't always an option for me if I'm out and about.
The only service that allowed me to waiver a Captcha was Nord VPN, by filling in a short waiver form which removed the test from my account. I can't see many services taking this up though as it would be too easy for the bots to get around it.

The forum obviously thinks you're a bot with all the RSS feeds you post.

Seen them loads. I travel a lot though. Can't stand cloud flare and especially can't stand UK sites using capture that requires people to know what certain items are in the US. Even Spain's Correos uses US captcha. How the hell is a random Spaniard going to know what a 'crosswalk' - yes it's asked in English too. Seems even Royal Fail uses it.

Do you have any basis for this "thought" or are you just "spitballing" as the Americans would for some bizarre reason describe it
