Lately we have been targeted by some bad spammers that fill their “wonderful” blogs with hundreds of posts about pharmacy, nurse schools and other crappy stuff. They probably use semi-automated tools, and for several reasons, this drains server and database power for “the good guys”.
This is the reason for so many proxy errors and site slowdown…

But don’t despair! We have just sent live an optimization regarding new blog posts that should hopefully help the database a bit when these spammers hammer us.

We’re also working to some sort of throttling

that should slowdown people from posting in their blogs if the frequency of post is like 1000/minute or something :-)

I think no legit user, apart maybe from Tamil Samson and Delilah the movie , is able to do that… :-)
