Cant apply ban due to wrong Captcha Anonymous 09/08/2024 (Sun) 08:41 [Preview] No. 19550

When trying to apply a ban to a CP Spammer in /bbg/ I just get 'wrong Captcha' despite about a dozen attempts. Used reload to get a new Captcha each time and relogged in multiple times. Hash bans, scrubbing media and deleting the post worked fine. I am aware the ban has limited effect as the spammers just change IP but I still want to at least try to make it less convenient for them.

Related question: if a CP post is deleted is the now orphaned picture automatically deleted from Endchans servers or do the pics need to be scrubbed beforehand? I can see that hash banning a pic does not automatically delete it from the post.

Forgot to add - banning was working on Friday, its a recent problem. I tried not putting anything in the Captcha box, same result.

>'wrong Captcha' despite about a dozen attempts.
I dunno what can be the problem, I'm passing it on. Also gonna make tests, perhaps broke something recently.
>deleting the post worked fine.
Deletions don't need captcha.
>Related question
As long as one post with the file is up, it isn't an orphan, so won't get deleted. All orphaned files after a while (about two weeks) get scrubbed from the db automatically. Global staff also checks uploaded files daily (couple of times a day) and we scrub the cp from the db, no matter if orphaned or not (so we should catch cp spam that we don't notice getting posted).

OK, its still not working for me. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? I am connecting through TOR. Also I have to enter two Captchas to get a block bypass and post this which seem to work fine. Timestamps on screenshots are UTC.

Works for me on Tor as well.

Do you mean reload the page, or click Reload for the captcha?
Couple of other questions:
Do you have JS turned on or off?
Try to ban without Tor. Does that work for you? I could make a post with the text "try banning this" so you can try the ban.

>Do you mean reload the page, or click Reload for the captcha?
Reload button next to the Captcha.
>Try to ban without Tor
The only other VPN I use totally breaks anything Endchan does. Apparently its my VPN to blame even though the rest of the internet works fine.
>Do you have JS turned on or off?
Enabled. All my settings are TOR defaults.

I am going to try clearing all traces of TOR off my comp and reinstalling. In theory TOR doesn't save data so not sure why it would work, but worth a shot anyway.

Seems to work now.For the record I deleted everything TOR including the folder it hides in %appdata%/Roaming/TOR and reinstalled. Strange as it was working Friday and I have not updated or changed anything since then.

Thanks for your help.

I'm glad it works. We need more BOs who delete the cp spam.
