Why did I have to enter a code to send a message?

I was trying to message my friend but it gave me a captcha-like thing that I had to complete to send it! The same for my friend.

A minute ago I sent a test message and it didn't make me do the captcha. So what was that? Was it a bug? What was going on?!

It was doing that for a minute, but then it stopped, so IDK what exactly it was. I think it might have been some sort of bug.

The site will occasionally put a CAPTCHA on messages if there is a high load of spam like traffic or if a member is sending a lot of messages. In the case of high traffic, it will go away after the has dropped off.

It’s if you send a bunch of messages in a short amount of time. It flags you as a bot and you get the code until you cool down your messages
