Thanks in advance
Admin response:
This will NEVER be disabled... so get used to it
We didn't put it to make your life miserable, we put it to save your account from being hacked by brute force bots. Use your head ... When we ask people to use random strong passwords, and they don't listen, and then we have to hear them complaining that they cant login because their account was hacked (and their password was 123456)... i prefer to "annoy" a few of them once a while with a captcha verification system.
Glad I beefed up my pw when they asked!!

I'm always logged in too. But I always use a long, funky pass. For example the type of passes I use are like this --> &78Nmy1{]_/|gg(and no, this isn't my real pass on any of my sites, these are just random keys that I hit). I use that type of pass for all my sites. And I even changed my pass when they announced it on the homepage. So I'm confident if I do log out I won't have a problem.
So if you're using a simple pass, then it's possible that you got hacked.

still no replies. Although my account is disabled I was able to reset my password. Just as a precaution. No admins answering questions in the room. Which leads me to think perhaps there working on the problem.

I believe so from what I read in the forums...when you get in beef your pw but DON'T change you're email..I'm thinkin that's what triggered the OPs auto ban. Just a hunch..

make sure you don't leave a space between the two captcha words.

I don't understand how a password can be brute forced after so many failed log in atempts your banned i thought these password brute things have a dictionary of passwords and it uses those as an atempt to gain access to the victims account.

i've had no problems with TL
The password MUST:
-Be random and at least 8 digits long
-Have BOTH uppercase AND lowercase letters
-Have AT LEAST one number
-Have AT LEAST one special character (#$%^&*,. etc)
maybe the users that don't have that kind of password have problems...just a guess
