Captcha constantly, despite being a premium member

[teflontactics]

Any way you (the site's webmaster) can turn off the captcha for premium members trying to refresh their profiles? I just went through a multi-minute session to update my profile, and as someone who paid for the premium plan to stop waiting this is the exact opposite of user friendly service. Not a fan, and not particularly happy as this happens to me on the regular.

The captcha is shown to everyone when the load is high. Disabling it for premium members would effectively create a loophole for bots. 🤷‍♂️

Are you using a VPN? The only time I see a captcha is when I'm obscuring my traffic.

This^

 

I only see Captchas on profile updates when the servers are being bombarded by bots.

I’ve been having lots of captcha too, I had to do 5 “pick the picture” before it let me update, normally it’s not that many but yesterday was pretty bad for it

Probably a dumb question, but would someone running bots actually spend money to become premium? Usually, a paywall is a deterrent against them.
