Registration Via Tor/Certain VPN's Still Down on Purpose

submitted by oldvoat to whatever 2 yearsJun 8, 2023 00:52:27 ago (+2/-0)     (whatever)

If you try to register an account using Tor or certain VPN's you will first get thrown in the "verify you are human" loop powered by Cloudflare. If you make it through that, then 9/10 times after you fill in the account registration details it will say that registration is temporarily closed.

Even if you change the circuit when using Tor, this behaviour will still persist. The points being is this site is a honeypot, as most people know, and even worse is not being able to use privacy technology to register.

Fortunately you can get lucky sometimes and make it past the filters if Tor uses the right exit IP. Registration works perfectly if you use your normal home/phone internet IP that's easily tracked without attempting to mask it. Admins could easily fix these fatal flaws.

This stops people who have real information from registering and sharing here.

The responses aren't valid complaints. No one would post anything worth value if he couldn't stay anonymous. Old Voat didn't have such restrictions on registration.

JIDF complaints.

If anyone had anything worth posting registration restrictions on an obscure honeypot isn't the limiting factor.
