Of course it's responding now, patience is the key I suppose.

I think there is a spam of added quotes/comments. On the quotes page, recent comments is dominated by dfijeasfkhsdakf spamming things like "@@URdPQ".

User "tsslauep" is probably just someone's spam bot with commands like "-1); waitfor delay '0:0:15' " etc. Seems that every 15 seconds it's just auto spamming messages and slowing down the site. Might need to be a bit more strict and put a cap on how many times you can reply to a quote. Isn't the only time this has happened just need to adjust that and should be good.

Might need to set a rate of replying to a quote once per 5-10 minutes? Might help just seems like this is a bot spammers heaven as is. Check back later I suppose

Sorry, a bot is attempting to take down the site. Blocking it and reporting it...

So, did it work?

Thank you for the job you do, unfortunately with all the advancements with AI comes along the downside of anyone gaining the ability to bog down a site if they had even a small amount of free time and wanted to be annoying.

Very true! It's a cat and mouse game for sure. Please let me know if you encounter any more issues. Thanks!

Account aylnlfdx , created 17 hours ago, has been spamming every 15 seconds for the past 10+ hours, any way to put a 5ish minute buffer on replying in any form on the site?

OH MY GOD!!! Someone kill the guy who spams!
