Comment:

 @jgrahamc: Are you here? The rate of denial of Tor users by CF's captcha
 provider has (by my observations) risen way above 90%. In fact even
 websites having nothig to vandalize, like flightradar24, are practically
 unreachable. It is obvious that the "code evolution" only cuts the slice
 of accepted Tor users smaller and smaller.

 Two years ago you wrote

 Today, we don't get any CAPTCHAs AT ALL. How is that any better? (for Tor
 users ;)
