I wonder if it's possible to put in some sort of filter as in maximum number of new posts in a thread in a certain amount of time. I'm farily sure at least of all of us that it's never a requirement to start more than 3 three new threads in under 5 minutes. maybe if we bottleneck them enough they will go to an easier target.
Or we get a ddos attack from multiple sources as they attempt to overwhelm the server. why does everyone have to be more devious than me?
