Am I going to have to continue answering these annoying verification questions every time before I post?

It is the first 3 - 5 posts or something like that. After that, the verification is all done. It is done to limit spam and bots. And seems to work pretty well, we see very little of that crap here.

We're sorry about this! But without it the bots (when they do manage to get in on the occasion) have been able to spam literally hundreds of new gibberish topics before we manage to catch and bat them down

I swear I could have gotten a severe cramp on my finger in the great bot-wars back in 2015-16
Ohhh.. the horrors I've seen..
