There still appear to be intermittent problem with the captcha
verification on the Radicalendar service.

In particular, trying to edit events via the admin interface fails since
the event edit page has no captcha field, causing to always fail the
captcha verification.

Also, barely half a dozen page views of the radicalendar admin interface
(for which I have valid username/password) has apparently caused by IP
to be explicitly blocked. This feature is apparently new, since I've
used that admin interface w/o problem in past, to correct misposted
events and such.

At any rate, this IP blocking now prevents me using (or even viewing)
radicalendar at all. What is the threshold beyond which a particular IP
address gets blocked? Can this threshold be tuned so that people using
admin access don't find themselves suddenly blocked?

Thanks.

(P.S. I'm sending blocked IP address to radicalendar webmaster separately.)
