Probably because of this:
https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=4&topicid=237743
We are measuring robot/automated activities around the site with reCAPTCHA. About 12% - 15% of the traffic seems to be non-human. Once we have a few weeks of data I will decide how we will manage this - either by blocking suspicious activity or requiring a second authentication (email, 2FA TOTP code) when a suspicious login/post happens.
Sorry, this will continue for a little while before I decide on this.

Hmm, and it goes beyond just logging in, for example I can't post this unless I have Google enabled.
neb: Any chance of maybe whitelisting NZ IP blocks or something? Assuming the problem traffic is coming from non-NZ sources that is... Hmm, and it goes beyond just logging in, for example I can't post this unless I have Google enabled.
i can +1, read posts and reply to DM's. when it comes to posting though.... NOPE.
all because it can't load the silly google pixel thingy.. drives me a tad nutty.
edit:
i guess the problem does exist...

I have not removed the reCAPTCHA code but replaced google.com with recaptcha.net - this should prevent proxy errors if you have problems with the Google domain.

Ugh, and something more beyond that, I can't post this message at the moment, will try enabling more domains.

Aside from everything @stevebiddle writes, I've never seen a single Spam post on Geekzone.
Is all this really necessary?

freitasm: And that is one that lived only a few minutes. People have no idea of the traffic we get, so second guessing seems easy...
surely it wouldnt be hard to show that rather than leaving everyone to assume?
