I am hitting the scraping message page on any search now, logged in or not.
It has been happening for the last week or so.

Maybe you need to have actively used the forums, having an account that has never posted might be the problem, as the last 5 comments from members saying they are logged in are all first posts.

Hey,

I am not sure if it is due to, as debs3759 guessed, being a new user -- e.g., in my case, while I've been a lurker for a while, I only actually registered the other day after getting tired of the pain that comes from checking the marketplace section and realizing, repeatedly, that someone had exactly the obscure thing I've been trying to hunt down for months, and had I just decided to register a week earlier, maybe I would not have missed out Embarassed

Or if, alternatively, perhaps I've done something to trigger the system or whether something has happened recently to get me flagged. All I can think of is one of the following:

1. This past week, a tree fell, and this being the U.S., no one in my area has buried electrical lines or telecom utilities, and the city has zero interest in spending the cash to take care of that Cool

I've got FTTH, but over XGS-PON, where they run their lines out to a few terminals in a particular neighborhood, and then run passive lines to the actual homes from said terminals. While I've been paying for a static IPv4, the ISP ties the addresses to a particular terminal for whatever reason, and when they initially installed the connection, they put us on another terminal accidentally, and so I've just been on this unofficially official "temporary" terminal with a "temporary" static address for the past couple of years.

When they re-ran the damaged line this time, I forgot to tell the technician about the quirky situation, and got hooked up to the "correct" terminal, which resulted in my IP finally changing; I don't know if my new one is possibly on some sort of bot blacklist / mistakenly identified as non-residential service.

2. I did visit quite a number of pages the other day while searching for the the various S-spec numbers of early Sledgehammer Opterons and such for a project I'm working on; I don't know if I accidentally triggered some rate-limiting mechanism or when exactly this began, but I haven't been able to visit any of the CPU-details pages or CPU family listings without running into the scraping notice.

Things I've tried:


  • Being logged-in via the forum via the forum directly.
  • Clearing my browser data and logging in again via the forum directly.
  • Logging in via the form linked at the top-right on the main index / homepage.
  • Clearing my browser data and logging in again via the homepage.
  • Disabling all adblocking extensions or similar content-blockers before repeating the above.
  • Disabling any sort of anti-tracking/privacy settings, in addition to keeping uBlock, etc, disabled.
  • Trying all of the above in Safari, proprietary Chrome-branded Chrome, the official Mozilla builds of FireFox, and Mullvad's Tor Browser fork (without TOR or a VPN enabled, of course).


Things I've noticed that may be related:

Being signed in from the homepage removes the login link, understandably so. And as one would expect, your session is generally preserved, as one would expect; navigating around does not normally result in any changes to the header; however, upon clicking something that results in the scraping notice, and hitting back, I would see the option is now available to sign-in.

This was happening consistently earlier today, but right now, I cannot reproduce the behavior anymore, so unfortunately, I can't compare cookies/other browser data when that occurs. One odd thing, though, is that, when that occurred, despite my session seemingly being cleared/broken while on the rest of the site, the logged-in forum session that I obtained from logging-in on the homepage remains.

EDIT:

As another user mentioned, I guess it turns out that it's not all CPU families; I can still view some of the older/more obscure pages -- e.g., under AMD, the Elan, Geode, and old RISC/embedded lines do not display the notice, but K5 through K10, Bulldozer, Zen, and all other recent-ish families do trigger it.

Something is wrong with login mechanism. I did login on cpu-world.com (not forum). Then I got information that I'm logged in. But after I click on cpu-world logo on the left upper corner that redirects me to the main page there is LogIn icon and after click on it I can login again with same result. Am I doing something wrong?

I often (always) have the same issue. )

I understand blocking abusive scripts, but this site can be irritating. Referrer links are not scraping. My work VPN is not an abuser.

I have pages on my website, with my personal cpu collection, where I've manually copied specs to my own database, and then linked back to CPU-World.

See:
https://timshome.page/collection/cpu/details/36
https://timshomepage.net/collection/cpu/details/36

I have DNS-level adblock on my home network for security reasons. I understand your anti-adblock stance, and I can accept that. However, if I view the site over my work VPN (without adblocking), now I see that content-scraping block.

Site gives that message on a variety of old stuff, my phone, standard Firefox and PaleMoon on W10, and the only thing that works somehow is Safari on a 2014 Mac Mini.
Disabling adblockers doesn't do anything (and PaleMoon was even a fresh install)
As others said, older more obscure things like StrongArm go through fine but that's all.

It seems like I'm permanently blocked as well. It hasn't worked in weeks for me.

I'm having about the same problem as other people posting here. Less obscure pages like the Pentium III and Pentium 4 categories are blocked no matter how I view them, no matter what browser I use, no matter what IP address I'm connecting from, no matter what device I'm using, no matter if I'm logged in or not.

I'm logged into the forums and this works. However on the main website I go to login -> enter my account information -> green text shows up saying I'm successfully logged in -> I went back to the main page and it still says "Login" .. can't view specifications pages. I haven't been able to view it for multiple weeks or a month or more. I don't know what the heck you ever did but you completely broke your damn website so legitimate viewers can't even view it now. I'm not trying to scrape anything. I'm just browsing occasionally.

I used to use your website all the time to look up vintage processor information. I even liked your website so much that I whitelisted you through my ad blockers and let all of your ads load because I thought you were providing me useful information and that warranted seeing ads in exchange.

But now I can't use your website at all. I even tried on my phone on 4G mobile, can't load it there either. I've tried old computers with old browsers, new computers, every modern browser known (Edge, IE, chrome, brave, Chromium, Pale Moon, Opera, none of them load your website's pages, seeing a "Scraping error". I even tried my apple computers and it's the same thing in Safari there. I've tried to login to my account on every browser, even using browsers with no ad blockers installed at all, all of this just to try and view your little website. So that's it. Your website is gone, dead, broken forever and I'll never get to use it again.

It was nice while it lasted. I guess all good things come to an end some day. Sad
