Anyobe else have this?-

Almost invaribly when I attemptto log in, I get an inhibit asking me to confirm that I am not a 'robot'

1) how would a robot know my membership number and password? I have heard of A.I. but this is ridiculous :rolleyes: ; and

2) pardon my ignorance but why does it matter if a robot buys every ticket on offer at the asking price ? Is this not good business? What am I missing here?:zzz:

1) people have large databases of user information such as membership numbers and passwords, no AI involved - just brute force!
2) the company have a legal duty to protect your data and the data of those who use the system

As annoying as CAPACHAs are, they are rather necessary in this day and age

If someone knows my password :uhoh: ,the system is bust

I expect the system is probably not clever enough to display the checker as and when it is needed - rather just displays it each and everytime!

Wait until they design a robot that can answer ' I am not a robot' :rolleyes:
