Ddos will often tie up a server with requests on purpose for pointless reasons, letting it drop automatically seems a good idea to limit deliberate misuse. I dont know the fine detail but I got no doubts on the character endlessly chasing the destruction of what others have built.
To me its not a maybe just a question of time till someone tests something to destruction, if there's leeway and a vulnerability people will want to use to win the game of knocking over a server for however long they can.
I get that everyday, if hosting a game a never ending supply of random people who want to crash the server as fast as possible because that is the game ? Got to err on the side of caution surely.
It is easy to test the limits though, I pressed ctrl and click 3 links and it loaded ok after a delay with a few images it was
half done. I think my humble pc wouldnt like all 10 at once tbh. Its got to be a common problem, Im guilty of wanting to load all at once also and often it has to be limited even by big websites.
The FT blocked my free account for endlessly using their graphs section, I was surprised Imgur had a problem with this site tbh as its mostly text so why did they even notice; it must have spiked in demand at some time.
The thread all button brings up captcha on this forum I think and if I went to try and load up the entire WO thread for some bizarre reason some stats collate maybe I dont know; I would expect to be in trouble for trying, theres always a limit with reasons.
Did someone accidentally upload his "private pictures"?
