> _ > Usually it means you're browsing too fast and they think you're a robot.... I think its bullshit that they think people with faster computers/connection = robot but w/e. Just close and continue browsing. lulz

< _ < I've pitted up against a spam bot and won. So I would say surfing at the speed of a bot is a compliment...

Those are scammer pop-ups. People put scripts into images, so if you have all images enabled on your account, you're bound to run into quite a few of those while surfing. You put your name into one of those pop-ups, you're account's hacked, no doubt about it.

Gaia will never ask for your password, so it's not Gaia that puts those pop-ups up. The ones y'all run into are from hackers/scammers trying to get your password so they can take your account over.
If you see one of those pop ups again, report the thread/profile you ran into it in and a mod will take care of it and get rid of it.
If they thought you were a bot, you'd get the "Woah, slow down hotshot!" error page. They give that to anyone who refreshes the page too fast or if they're surfing fast enough. If you get that page too often in too little time, you're temp banned for about 15 minutes or so. Multiple offenses of that get you permanently banned. Gaia isn't one to take bots lightly.
