@ahihi Every time posting? Not at all. Every time logging in? I don't remember the last time I logged in, I've remained logged in every time I've gone there, at least for the last year or so.

@Traiken im logged in, the verification is in the reply form. maybe it goes away after you make enough posts then? 😄

@ahihi Oh wow--yeah, I don't remember ever having to deal with that. Maybe it's something implemented after a bunch of bots tried signing up?

@Traiken @ahihi I’ll let @keefmarshall explain more, but yes, I believe it was to thwart the bots and that it goes away after a few posts.

@CCirco @Traiken @ahihi

Yeah it's just the first few posts. Sorry about that but the bots were getting too much (several per day) and this seems to be the only thing that's stopped them so far.

It'll go away after you've posted a few times.
