Hello user, this is Kaushik from india. I am trying to create a new account on this website, but it is saying error message and the message says that the spam filters and if you turn on VPN, please turn off, but I don't have VPN installed on my phone separately, so what is this issue and how to fix this because we want to participate in the Apple Accessibility Survay but so many friends of mine are getting this error message

Hi Kaushik,

Thank you for letting us know about the issue. We have made some temporary adjustments to our antispam system that we hope will serve as a workaround during the survey period. Can you please ask your friends to try registering and completing the survey, and then report back here?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Kaushik,

To clarify, are you still (as of the time of my comment) having the issue? If so, are you getting a Cloudflare error or something else? If possible, can you please paste the text of the error you are receiving?

Spam filter, you might try after sometime if you're using VPN, please turn off this is the message. I'm getting now also.
Not only for me, my friends are from India. We are also getting the same message.

Hi Kaushik,

Thank you, this has helped us narrow down which spam filter is likely in play. Can you and your friends please try again now? If it still doesn't work, we may need to do additional troubleshooting on our end.

Thanks,

Michael

It has been a great support for us, especially this platform and sorry for troubling you guys

Hello,

Given that Applevis uses Drupal heavily, I recommend using the Cloudflare turnstile. This will not hinder any person who is visually impaired, but it will also make the security/spam Detection very modern and heuristic. Rather than using Math Captcha, it would be easyer and user friendly to use Cloudflare Turnstyle.

I really thank Applevis team for taking our consideration and resolving it. We are really proud to be this community. My friends are able to register and participate in the Survay. Thank you.

Good morning. I am very happy to be able to send this message. I am from Brazil and I was having trouble creating my account, but the error has now been fixed. I learn a lot from all the podcasts and tutorials produced here. A big hug to everyone who helps me learn more about Mac, and may Apple bring many new accessibility features to us.

Hi Kaushik,

Do you know if this is the same error that your friends received before, or something different? We use multiple services so am trying to figure out which one is causing the issue.
