HOL Lock Out
I was doing some data gathering and sorting out my ADFs last weekend and I was using HOL
to gain the information I required, all was going well until I got a Lock Out and a code to enter, then some sort of threat regarding being locked out indefinitely or something. Because of this I am a bit concerned about using the HOL for any length of time, as I do from time to time. I know the HOL could be used by people other than members here, but could not members here have some sort of access with no lock out ? Just an idea. |

I think there may be some sort of restriction on the number of searches you can make per day.
I have no experience of this myself, but I seem to remember reading something like that in an old "Guess the Screenshot" EAB Competition thread. |

You get that warning after 100 detail views. RCK has to tell if there is a real limit, but IIRC he said that you will never get 'locked out' as long as you enter the correct code.

Hi guys,
There was in fact a definitive ban after 10 lock. But I just removed it The only system active is now the lockscreen (with human picture code) after 100 daily games view. Cheers. |

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/hol/inc.showgamefunc.php on line 422
I can not see any game because of this. |

I have problem entering codes right now. Anytime I'm asked for code system doesn't lift lock. I tried already with 3 codes and with Chrome and IE11.
Topic is old but I don't won't to open new just for this. BTW. Is this really needed these days? All sites like lemon amiga, mobygames, vg museum working fine without such irritating limitations. |

Yup; same issue here... After viewing 100 entries, being presented with the code / gotcha it never goes through

I'll PM RCK about this.
I'm re-starting to add some missing scans, screens etc and while lock after 100 views is irritating but I can bear it then lock without possibility to bypass it's not :/ |

There was a bug with image verification and uppercase char, it have been fixed !
The limit before human verification test occurs have been raised from 100 to 500 game view |

I've decided to test functionality. It appears it doesn't block me after 100 hits but visual meter still works like it was designed for 100 hits.
