Jeremy's bootlickers
As I suggested before, perhaps handing out private login url's aka captcha bypass code to all members is going to solve all this heartache. My screen froze because of Cloufare just a moment ago.
How hard can it be for a linux guru to implement this on the internet's premier linux forum? Bootlickers chime in if Cloudfare permits.
Snide: stay away from cloudflare!
They've been hacked! Just kidding, although it's interesting to see the behemoth getting taken down
Even though cloudflare is actually probably the 'good guy'!

I would say that cloudfare is the "good but not terribly competent guy" rather than the good guy. They do provide a service that is important, even critical to some businesses and hosting sites. Alas, although on of the cheapest they often have infrastructure issues. I have been given to understand, although I am unsure what reliability rating to give my source, that anyone providing those service cheaper is even less reliable or outright untrustworthy.

The problem is that spammers, register accounts to post, so anything which only targets "guests" and let's members through, will be ineffective.
This is the first time I was able to reach the site since weekend, for 4 or 5 days it was an blocked by infinite cloudflare loop. Well, that's one way to keep scammers away. There is another, even more efficient - just shut down it already.

Oh no! I started my Linux journey at Linux Forums. When that closed down, I moved here. Where am I going to go if you close this one? There is no Slackware forum.
I am using Firefox and getting the above when I try to upload a picture. Weird. Never experienced it before. Asks if you are human, and then get a message:
