worst abuse on PA ever

I've read that it hits people more depending upon what kind of sites they visit (for instance, those who frequent porn sites might get hit harder by Captcha).

That said, there does seem to be little rhyme or reason to it. For a long time after it was implemented, I wasn't getting hit at all. And now, despite my efforts (and I don't visit porn sites), I get hit a lot (at least I don't have to remember to save posts as I can just backspace and keep trying, or go back to my post and the text is still there). It's a pain, and I often have accessibility issues in different parts of the site.

^ thanks, I'll give that a try 

I've been having much worse than usual problems the past couple days as well.  No posts get through without at least 2 permission denied screens and I've been run through check box hell multiple times 

^A cold comfort that I am not the only one who suffers from this. I had to writhe my way through a quite a deck of poor quality images earlier this day: 46 clicks, Access denied, post again and then a dozen more .

^ congrats. what's your secret?

There aren't that many active posters on topics that interest me, but a high percentage of them are knowledgeable / insightful, so there are some worthwhile discussions and I've got turned on to a lot of good stuff.
