I have to allow the check when I log in, but the thing that ticks me off is even when I am logged in, if I leave the site for 5 minutes I have to get checked again when I try to click on a post.

I suspect the system is trying to defend itself against possible DDOS (distributed Denial Of Service Attacks). This board is being hit hard by mostly legitimate users as well as shitload of people who either have ill will or have heard about it on the news. As far as I'm concerned, WE ARE THE NEWS now.
I started getting it too. My guess is the large number of shills that have been posting here. Earlier tonight I Deported abort 30 of them, so hopefully this will firewall them.
I assume it's because of all the traffic coming through.
same here.
Every patriot forum is getting pounded with DOS attacks. Browser checks slow it down. The cause is the left's concern for our free speech.
Remember back in the day when DOS attacks would be met with a law enforcement response? Everyone just takes it for granted now that organised crime can dominate the internet and there are no consequences for the cloud companies that always are a haven for this crime.
And then the beneficiaries of crime like cloudflare suddenly has a financial stake in keeping crime going, because it keeps their business interest in demand.
I remember dealing with it on TDW before I had enough of the dooming, but it would make sense that we are getting more traffic from shills and monitoring, if not increased DDOS attacks on the site.
I had seen it trying to access GAW a couple times before yesterday, but not often and only at high traffic times when the shilling was intense and I was deporting more than I was sifting through well-intentioned content.
GAB has the same problem and both use Cloudflare. I think Cloudflare is the problem.
This happens when DHS puts you on a special list and flags your ip address.
It means the FBI is now tracking you now.
I have been getting it as well.
