CODE MONKEY
I'm not one to bitch…BUT
It took 6 tries to get one message posted here. Why? Because, although I'm using one of the largest VPN networks on the planet, almost every node is blocked here. So I get kicked out and have to node hop and try again.
6 FUCKING TIMES. 2 CAPTCHAS to make one post.
Banning a VPN node blocks the bad actor for the rest of that bread or session…BUT EVERY OTHER USER OF THE VPN SERVICE FOREVER.
Nobody is coming here with anything useful and NOT using a VPN. It's getting so frustrating what once was two shifts a day is now a bread or two.
You're choking off your users and who knows how many left and won't come back because it's as frustrating as Chinese arithmetic.
This is an existential threat to the platform IMHO.
