Could someone please do something about that nerve wrecking Robot Police.

Almost all my posts are being killed which is really awful after you typed a replies for 10 Minutes or so.

I know many users here have this problem.

Mark the box to proof you are no Robot.

Thank you you proofed not to be a Robot!

Check all the pictures showing cars.

Thank you you proofed not to be a Robot!

Check all the pictures showing store fronts.

Thank you you proofed not to be a Robot!

But you will be killed anyway:

Access Denied!

^ Very well put, but no-one, I said NO-ONE but M@x can actually make something about it.

The owner is sadly un-respondent and we're left with our own resources (which are none on this matter).
Best advice: always copy your text before submitting - it's really a question of getting to create the habit and this way avoiding irreversible loss if/when refused access - what else can we do ? (except whining, which solves nothing Censored

)

Yep Jose has got it right...sadly.
Been strugling with katja quite a bit today. I can't seem to send my mail. I must be on my 15th try now...and each and every time the database says that I don't have permission to post in this part of the forum...which is a bit odd seeing as I'm logged in.
Maybe I'll try number 16 a little later but for now I'm throwing in the towel.

As the others have said we have made our opinions on the captcha clearly known to the site owner but he's chosen not to respond to anyone.

The only advice I can give (apart from copying your post into Word or Notepad before you post) is to keep your posts simple i.e. with no emoticons, quotes or hyperlinks. I find simple posts tend to avoid the robot monster.

^ Excatly what I was going to say. Plaintext only in a must. Not that this is a guarantee against it (it isn't) but I always get it with emoticons/links/copy-pastes/etc.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
