Hi,
I have just spent a frustrating couple of hours trying to diagnose why sourceforge.net would not let me log in. I have determined the source of the problem. I use an add-on to my Firefox browser called Kee which saves my passwords via the KeePass password wallet application. It is this that the spambot protection is detecting and blocking. This is plainly ridiculous. Please can you fix this.
The time I wasted chasing this issue could have been used helping a fellow logisim user with an issue they have,
Blocking add-ons like Kee INCREASE the likelihood that users' accounts will get hacked and used for spamming because it will encourage people will just use easy to remember passwords which are more prone to dictionary attack. I use 32 character randomly generated passwords as generated and stored by KeePass.
regards
Stephen Parry
