Poll Are you a human? (25 votes)

Yes, I've gotten that message 32%
No, it's never happened to me 68%

So yesterday and today, when I tried to get onto this site, it redirected me to a page that said "are you a human" and some junk about malicious traffic coming from my network. And I had to click on some re-captcha button to prove I'm a person and not a "bot"?

Has this happened to any of you?

A month or so ago I was temporarily blocked (my IP address, not my account) and I had to email gamespot to get them to let me back on. I'm guessing that is related to this new nonsense.

In order to see the results of the poll I had to vote, which broke the tie and skewed the poll to the yes side. So far it's 3 votes yes and 2 votes no.

Are you using alt accounts? Or, you using public access to get onto GameSpot (if so that's probably why they thought you were alt accounting)? Personally I don't think alt accounting by itself should be punished, unless it's done in a way that's meant to be disruptive.

I have got some email from GS Staff saying I may have malware on my Android and asking me install some Android app, which I don't use an Android.

The email is genuine in the end. Something about someone using ATT to spam their network, but, they don't really have the skill to investigate the problem. So, they just think bunch of ATT users getting the malware.

And the silly staff put everyone on the To/Cc address, so, our email are all exposed to other recipients.

My network used to be ATT but ATT sold it to Frontier, so technically I'm on Frontier now. My main email address still ends in att.net, but the email address associated with this gamespot account is an aol account.

Gamespot shouldn't target all ATT users just because some spammers are using ATT.

Don't know if I am or not.
considering my the dreams I have are convincing me I am dragon from another world and something else along with that. Although not sure if I should care anyway. And had two different dragons from my dreams attempted to cross over from my dreams into this world as well then again I tried the same thing and still have yet to succeed.

GS wouldn't dare doing this to me; they know I account for half their traffic with all these butthurts I generate.

Alt accounts are fine most of the time... But don't go ban dodging with them.
