When checking out coins on their auction platform/ this happens. Thing comes up/ I am not a robot/ then you have to pickout cars on a street scene??????

This is so annoying! Plus it makes no sense/ why are they worried about collectors/ bidders checking out their auctions? If I were running a auction site/ I WOULD WANT lots of traffic=more bidders=higher hammer results=happy consignees=great for biddr!

I understand that this is annoying. It's to prevent certain bots (the kind that doesn't follow the robots.txt instructions) from crawling our site too aggressively. I think even more annoying would be a slow site due to some crawlers eating up all the resources 🙂

Also, this should only happen if you change pages very quickly many dozens of times over a certain period of time.
