Script sets only available to logged in users.

I used to open https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts?filter_locale=0&language=all&set=589673&sort=updated often, like a few times daily, to check for updated scripts, since TM sucks at checking for updates automatically, especially after I modify any code in any script.

Can I please have that URL unblocked? I'm not usually logged in GF.

This was done because bots were crawling these pages a lot and causing performance problems.

Can't you just log in if you need it?

I could, it's not like it's impossible.

But I probably wouldn't ever do that just to check 1 single page, since I'll not use GF for anything else the whole day.

The script sets (that page) is useless to me unless I can check it without being logged in. I would rather just never open it again.

Maybe you could make it force a captcha to be solved if the page is fetched by a program from the same IP address more than once in 6 hours?

If you choose "Remember me" on sign in, you'll stay signed in as long you make a request once every 2 weeks.

The bots are not using a single IP generally. If they were I'd just block the IP.

I use CCleaner and other software to auto-delete cookies for security reasons as soon as I close my browser or turn off my pc at the end of the day.

That won't work.
