New user sign up = fail

[rmills]

It took me 10 minutes and a VPN to sign up to ask a single question. The initial robot check only shows a solvable image check 1 in maybe 4-5 times. With no option to change to a new set of images and is poorly worded with poor HTML layout. Did not even realize the colored box on the right was related since all the images below it were faces. Then every try after that did not have a match till my IP was banned and had to use a VPN to try again. This time refreshing the page till I got a solvable images sequence  . I get that spammers are annoying but there is a point where its over kill and that was well before the 4th robot check.

Hi rmills,
It is sad that you are facing difficulties to login. Think server has become somewhat slow.
... But hope a regular user does not face this problem !
