Confirmation Code when logging in

Post by Jay » Mon Jan 10, 2011 3:00 am

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone else has been experienceing this. Most of the time when I log in now, it says I have exceeded the number of log in attempts. I then have to log in again and enter a confirmation code. This happens when I log in for the very first time. It's not really a major problem, just an annoying quirk but something doesn't seem right?!

This just happened to me. I think it must be to help against all the spammers out there. It's unfortunate to have to deal with it as users, but I'm sure it helps the mods in mitigating all the spam.

Yes, it's a new system in place to help stop spammers, which were hitting the site like crazy with the old forum.

Congrats on the first post, dude. You really knocked it out of the ballpark.
