We know that some of you guys use various scripts, including 'Greasemonkey' scripts in Firefox, to do various things to improve your TC experience. We have nothing against these (unless they aid cheating, of course) and have never done anything to deliberately stop them working.
However, it has come to our attention that some of these scripts in effect automate clicks. Some of these are clicking so much they set off our protection systems which result in you being unable to access TC for a period of time. This may not be obvious because the the errors are likely to be "Timeouts", rather than a 403 or other error page.
Please, if you have any problems accessing TC, turn off these scripts, wait a few minutes, restart your browser and try again. If this solves the problem then please contact the script author and get them to "tune down" the automated clicking...
Any questions please post here.
Cheers,

I think ithe problem is time related; it is more likely to happen at some times than others, the most frequent being, in my experience, around 22:00 TC time.
I do not use any Greasemonkey scripts
*Staff* are discriminating against me because I am a Vulcan!!!!!!
greasemonkey just isnt cheating, it doesnt aid u in levelling, or attacking or becoming richer. It just improves navigation and the UI. People like use scripts sometimes just because grey is boring...doesnt mean its cheating.

Not sure who the royal "we" is Davz but this is not correct for TC.
Many times we've seen changes to the code to stop auto-refreshers. Among them... the gym and nerve captcha (even if I agree with this being added, it was done to stop people training while asleep).
But more importantly, don't you remember the market limitations put into place to limit refreshes to once every fifteen minutes?! It was later relaxed to 5 and then 1, but that's what it was for. Especially to stop people on Firefox with Reload Every. This had nothing to do with cheating. People were in fact FEDDED for using the addon even when there was no cheating going on! In fact there was even a hall of shame where the people with the most page hits were publicly broadcast, and players were encouraged to harrass/hospitalise those people. Nice.
I was there, and I witnessed the discussions in the staff room at the time. There is no question why Chedburn had them implemented and it was nothing to do with cheating.

They have seemed to stop for me every now in then i get them but not as much no more
Half-assed AJAX combined with IFRAMEs that don't reload properly == cause of the problem.
Trying to institute state onto a stateless protocol (i.e., HTTP) is like trying to fill a bucket of water with a sieve. Good luck., Even if you got away from DHTML, I still don't see anyone who understands AJAX/JSON well enough on the admin team to know what they're doing.
I'm probably being a bit harsh, but so long as no one in the admin camp can see the security deficiencies... I'm not donating.
Why donate to a game that any Joe Bloggs could hijack an admin account on, anyway?
