BCHL Blocked - Is DailyFaceoff Overdoing Security?

So, I was trying to check out the latest BCHL news on DailyFaceoff using their RSS feed, and I got completely blocked. A security wall, citing potential online attacks. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems a bit extreme. I wonder if their security measures are too aggressive, potentially blocking legitimate users.

Is this the future of online sports news? Are we heading towards a point where accessing information becomes overly complicated due to security concerns? Or is this a necessary evil to combat bots and malicious activity?

Perhaps DailyFaceoff needs to rethink their approach. This level of security could drive users away, especially casual fans just looking for quick updates. What do you think is a reasonable balance between security and accessibility?

I'm curious to hear if others have encountered similar issues, not just with DailyFaceoff, but with other sports news sites. Is this an isolated incident, or a growing trend? Let's discuss.
