Every time I try to comment on a page in the knowledge base (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Confluence+Knowledge+Base+Home) I repeatedly get captcha rejections, even though what I put in looks totally right.

Your user account might need to have the max retries reset. I would try and contact Atlassian support directly as this likely requires a human to fix.
