Recently I have had all kinds of oddness.

 

It began with an enforced password change - which I did - and since then I have been challenged with Captcha regularly, been blocked by IP for "too many connections" and then I wrote a lengthy PM to someone and when I clicked send, got chucked out of GZ then Captcha'd twice when I logged back in and as far as I can tell the mail I had written disappeared to boot!

 

No changes this end for machines, internet etc so just thought I would mention it.

The password change has nothing to do with the captcha - that is because the password you used appeared in some data breaches somewhere else and we want people to be conscious about it.

 

The rate limit is because we only allow five access to the login page every few minutes, to prevent credential stuffing.

 

The captcha is likely due to strange activity accessing the login page continuously. It should disappear soon.
