Bot countermeasures

Post by carl »

Hi all,

I'm adjusting some things in the forum software to try to fix problems caused by a crazy amount of unidentified bot traffic. There were over 2000 unique users accessing the forum at one point today.

Please let me know if you see any strange problems when using the DCP-o-matic forum.

Best,
Carl

I don't notice any side effects so far.

That's good. Things seem to have calmed down a bit now, but I'm still blocking a couple of /16s to stop them overloading the database server.
