First post as can only vote on about 15 miniature posts before Error 524 stops me!

[Blackmane]

Hi first post though I have been a user of the website for many years as I am unsure whether I can continue to use the site. I have been trying to vote on a hundred miniature posts a day to get my 88000 votes nearer the total 257767 minis listed on the site! For many months now though I have got to about 15 votes on miniature posts a day and then I get an error screen and can no longer vote further. This screen I get is white with 'error 524 a timeout occured' says to try again in a few minutes however it takes a whole day before I can vote on any more posts. Recently in a the last weeks there is captca verification that is new so thought this might be a new initiative to reduce bots voting perhaps however I am not a bot and would like to vote on more posts?

Anybody with any tips on how to get back voting daily again, thanks?

So I am still unable to vote on historic entries! I am sure I can only vote on the recent minis posted before I am binned out and get a timeout error! Hope this is looked at by CoolMiniorNot.

Its the anti-bot protocol.
It’s doing this to a number of people.

Thanks for the reply! Is there going to be change to stop this anti-bot protocol stopping a voting website to allow votes!

Back again to the forum and now entry into CoolMiniOrNot website to vote after being completely account suspended... I can at least vote on the recent posts but still not the historic posts to which I like to vote on 100 minis a day. Having used the website for 18 years I am not quite ready to stop trying to use the website just yet! I would really appreciate the anti bot protocol looked at to stop average voters to be allowed to vote please!

Looking into it now. Can you replicate the behaviour? We've tuned the bot detection down a little.

Hi Chern Ann. Thanks for the response. I can replicate the behaviour as just tried to vote on 2 new models and was then binned out after 2 votes giving the error 524 code! So I guess it is still not letting me to vote on historic entries just recent ones?

Hopefully i have added the attachment using a screenshot for your review. Only a couple entries were allowed to be voted on before being kicked out.

How are you voting? Just randomly or through a specific search?

I am voting randomly.
