I see what you are saying, but VPNs don't actually offer that much security, and we can't make this site more vulnerable to attacks than it already is, and we know for a fact turning it lower causes a lot of problems

I think it's some secret plan CloudFlare has and not site-specific settings. It wasn't giving humans any problems for a whole year, even on obvious VPN and TOR IPs. Then suddenly you couldn't even use plain Firefox, and this affected the entire web not just saidit. There was no noticeable difference in attacks here or anywhere.

If I had to guess, CloudFlare is trying to sneak data mining into its security checks. They want to force you to use Chrome so they and Google can track you easier.
