I am not a robot popup?

[irv]

I just received a popup as I was posting a reply in the boating section to 4WD? Is this something new?

I checked the spot where it asked if I was a robot which allowed me to complete my post but I have never seen that before on here?

I've seen that pop-up a few times ... strange.

Well are you a robot?

Is that a site specific thing or something else? I honestly thought I had been hacked at first thought but after I clicked the link confirming I wasn't, it took me back to my post, so I assumed all was good?
Regardless, I did a couple scans, CCleaner, etc, and all came back negative.

Been on this site since 2006 and it was the 1st time I have ever seen this.

It is a CloudFlare algorithm that decides when to issue the challenge. I have no insight...

Cloudflare isn't going to give many details on the "why" either because if you or I know how it works, we can probably figure out a way around it or how to avoid it.
