That site basically is one giant problem.
Their security doesnt work. Never has. It is infected with the unholy plague known as Cloudflare, you see. A "security" service that couldnt protect a block of cheese from a dead mouse.
The site routinely gets swarmed by bots (the security ignores them), hacked (security ignores that too), and other things (and let's not forget the broken captchas that can be bypassed if you click erratically enough).... but ACTUAL USERS? OMG they must be the bad guys. Better boot them or "check the browser" every 2 seconds. That funky auto-ban has happened since before the mods started getting snotty.
There are many, many reasons why I dont go to that site. Cloudflare is 572 of them. I've run into it on so many sites and clashed with it so many times, and I'll never, ever understand how it stays in business.
That place has been broken for years. Unlikely to get any fixes. And that's just the start of the problems. I once had a mod try to ban me. Why? Because I was being my usual self, and another user didnt like that, so he weaponized one of the mods at me. But I saw this coming, so I turned a different mod into a shield and blocked the ban.
I know I'm sarcastic as heck, but no, I'm not joking or exaggerating. That's what actually happened. The fact that it was even possible for such an event to occur on a forum was what got me to start looking for somewhere else to go.
I'll say this, I'm glad I found this place instead. Cant say I miss WP much.
