Captcha for all members of my forum

[potuz]

Hi, I administer clubinvest.boards.net and since a few days ago all my users have been received with a captcha to enter because their login was deemed suspicious. Is there anything I can do regarding this?

Hi,

This is an extra security measure imposed on suspicious traffic, or to prevent potentially malicious traffic. As long as the suspicious or malicious traffic doesn't continue (it normally doesn't) then the CAPTCHA should stop after a few days.

Here's what I get just from visiting the clubinvest forum URL - Attention required!

The system has interpreted your activity or connection to this page as suspicious. If you believe you've received this message wrongly, this may simply be a false positive caused by an error on our end, and we apologize for the inconvenience...

Don't know what's going on but the words club & invest are ringing dodgy alarm bells for me.

Could be wrong.

This message is generated by ProBoards using Cloudflare to protect PB and individual forums when we detect potentially malicious traffic or suspicious traffic.

The words club and invest are part of their forum URL and may bear absolutely no relation to the additional security imposed.

The point is that absolutely all my users (and myself) have been getting this every single time we log in. To the point that there's discussion of moving the forum elsewhere

Hi,

Anyone attempting to access the forum will receive that message until the security measures are lowered. Since it has already been a few days you should expect to see a reduction in CAPTCHA checks except for the most suspicious traffic soon.
