MVS server rate limits

Post by matthew1 »

Apologies if you got a "rate limit" message and a temporary block. I'm working to fine tune the methods I use to keep bot swarms away.

It's not easy. There is no "block bad actors, allow normal users" button.

If this has happened to you, please email me and let me know - [email protected]

Thanks for your understanding.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Thanks for the report, Steve. I relaxed the Rate limit rule by 50%.

If you can remember what thread it was that triggered the message and rule, please let me know.
