I think this is simply a temporary thing that will go away soon, it's a feature called "I'm Under Attack"

@Atko or @PuttItOut would be helpful now.

This thing is designed to block bots and my App is basically a bot. Make no mistake, there is ALWAYS a way to solve a problem, but it will be painful and a hack, and I'm pretty sure this is a temporary thing because Voat is under DDoS attack right now. This feature isn't supposed to be always turned on, it's supposed to be turned on only when your site is under active DDoS attack and you want extra protection.
