Is it a temp block or perm block? I got a feeling that someone could accidently trigger this.

It's set up to be very difficult for a human to accidentally trigger, and even if someone somehow does so, the ban should not last long.

Someone who deliberately goes nuts on it will be banned for much much longer than someone who accidentally oversteps it just slightly (which is still very very difficult to do by accident).

Nice, glad you were able to get something set up.

Yeah thanks a lot for your help! Your link and information ended up being exactly what we needed. I pulled an all-nighter and got it working wonderfully from the info you sent.

Yesterday I was unable to access the site at all on my home IP. Today it seems fine though.

Ok thanks. We’re still adjusting our new firewall. If you have more problems let me know
