So PigParse is DDOSing our wiki? Awesome! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Look, I googled and saw an auction site. I can't be responsible for every tool and knowing how they all work ... I just figured no dev would be so stupid (and cruel) as to effectively encourage users to DDOS the wiki!
But, to be fair, I'm still unclear how many users it has, how often they spam the "take down the wiki" button, etc. If it only results in a few requests per user per minute, that's the same as a human wiki user (and not a problem). But if it's making a whole bunch of requests per second, frequently ... the PigParse dev is a true jerk, and Rogean should block the tool from wiki access. |
To be clear I'm not trying to start any beef with you. I like and respect you, and you do far more for this community than most other players.
I don't expect you to know every tool and how they work. But I do expect you to do better than dismissively deny the possibility that a tool you don't know about does <a thing>. Besides, I know you've seen the quality of code that other p99 enthusiasts have written - expecting amateurs to meet professional standards isn't very reasonable

And for sure, none of us have visibility into why the wiki's so slow, whether this tool is a significant source of traffic, etc. But here's a simple Fermi estimate: 100 average concurrent Pigparse users who /con every 10 seconds on average vs 2000 Wiki users who view 100 pages a day on average.
Also, Rogean can't easily block the tool from wiki access since it's client-side logic, not server-side.
