/u/magnora7, /u/d3rr, I was blocked again by SaidIt's security right after posting this. It will likely last either 8 or 24+ hours. That's on the fast fiber line used by the 4 apartments of my house. I still have my DSL line as backup until I get off my ass and sign up for some VOIP and quit the DSL. This is blocking is an ongoing problem, at least once a week. I can't be the only one who gets this. Fortunately I had the backup line to fix my typos and write this.

Also, now I see that this CSS has problems with tree style tabs narrowing my 1080 wide portrait screen in WaterFox. Weird.

So you were getting a CloudFlare error page? If you message me your fiber line ip I can check to see if it's blocked.

    Noted. Yes this is no good, stopping real users.

    Yeah we can turn it down. I will adjust it to require more 429s before a user is blocked now that we're not under attack nearly as often.

    I'd guess people opening too many tabs quickly at once is the main 429 trigger.

    Thanks!

    I have a over 12 hundred vertical tabs but all but a dozen or two are usually "unloaded" or will auto-unload after 15 minutes. So far I don't think me opening too many tabs too quickly triggers it.

    But I have another theory that I haven't yet verified. I know that if I've used up too much memory (ie. opening many YouTube videos in tabs without first unloading some or with enough time for them to auto-unload - along side my other programs) my computer will sputter and choke for a few minutes until its digestion settles down. I suspect this turmoil might trip the security, yet I won't even know about it until I interact with SaidIt again - so I might be or reading or writing posts, comments, or articles, or in another room listening to media, or offloading tabs - all off of the SaidIt site for a while, before coming back to discover the blockage. It's a theory - as every time it happens I'm surprised and can't recall anything notable I was just doing.
