Default security popup party poker

Hello,

For the past two years I multi-table SNG's on party poker.

Since a few days I sometimes get a popup while I am playing. I have to enter a code that is displayed in a picture, to verify that I am not a "bot".

I also installed auto hot key a few days ago, does this has something to do with that?

Greets,

Wessel

Yes it does (presuming you are runnning scripts, and have not only installed AHK and are yet to make use of it).

Enter the code correctly and in time, prove you are not a bot.

All will be fine [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What do you mean with "only", because I am only using AHK?

Is AHK not "illegal" to use on party poker?

Is it possilbe to contact party poker, to tell I am not a "bot" and asked them to stop with the popups?

Lol and what's to stop every bot user from just doing the same?

I've answered 100's of them and I still get asked every 90 minutes. I think Party could do with having some sort of exponential decay on the timings and also perhaps not just doing them after exactly 90 minutes (what's to stop bot users from just coming back to their PC after 90 mins? Wouldn't it be better to make them wait for them to appear at random intervals?).

Uuh, they seem to be random for me. I got like 4 or 5 in 15 minutes once.

Strange, the only time I get them any quicker than 90 minutes is if I play a short session and then leave the client open for a few hours and come back to get an instant bot test.

I too have played party for about 2 years and in all that time I never had a "humanity check" (what do you call this dialog) until last week when I had two in one session. Maybe Party have increased the testing frequency, or maybe I'm losing my humanity.

Cheers,
