    New user question; why is it that I cannot upvote? am I missing something? I tap the arrow and get ‘invalid_bot_action’ I can assure you I am a real human - I can pass most captchas 😆

      You are currently labeled as a bot. You can change that in your account settings, there should be a checkbox “Bot account”, uncheck it :)

        Dang that was quick! Thank you! I am definitely not a bot, I enjoy human things like walking bipedally on my 2 legs and breathing oxygen rich air with my very human lungs!
