[GRASS-dev] Unable to update my project Wiki due to Captcha

I attempted to add my Week 2 report to my project wiki page. When I did this, it challenged me with a Captcha Challenge, specifically one with simple arithmetic in english words. I type in the correct answer and it thinks my answer fails.

I did this seven or eight times and finally concluded that it has a bug.

I will seek to add the report to the wiki from a computer with a different IP address some time in the future, but for now, this is why it is not appearing there

Next time you have a problem with the wiki, just let the OSGeo system admins know directly through IRC chat (go directly through your Web browser at https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=osgeo-sac)

Regarding this as a 'bug', I doubt that as so many thousands of others use the wiki daily; but please do let the admins know and they can 'whitelist' you if need be.

Thank you,

Thank you.

I have posted me request for help there.

It could be this one:

Please add a note in the ticket.

Sorry, that refers to the OSGeo wiki while you have troubles with the
trac wiki. The mechanism is different, and managed via
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/admin/spamfilter/monitor

(managed by a few GRASS devs). I'll check in a minute.

Dr. Neteler,

My problem is in the process of being solved. I went to the IRC chat channel and one of the people there was very willing to help me. It appears to be resolved now, but we are waiting to see if the problem returns.

Although it is clearly not yet solved. When I tried to add a comment to that ticket I was catcha-challenged (which is not a problem), but when I answered the challenge with a correct answer it still blocked me.
