Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Called a cunt and banned for saying MFBC is shit and not doing work for the mod.English
61·2 years agoI’m an Admin with a bunch of public servers. If someone was as disrespectful to me, as the one here whining about their ban, I’d permanently block them from every one of my servers as well. It’s not the mod who is power tripping, it’s the one whining about getting kicked out after posting an incredibly stupid and rude response.
And, Deceptichum, you came here and lied about why you were banned just to try to get revenge on the mod. Your ban had nothing to do with additional perspectives, and you knew it when you made the claim here. Maybe, the only honesty you’ve exhibited is your name.





When I suddenly began receiving over 750K requests per day from AI bots, I did significantly tighten firewall rules so the server could get back online (it was throwing gateway timeouts). This issue is probably collateral damage.
The firewall does not block any ISPs in Uruguay, so I don’t believe Uruguay is a factor.
There are several new layers of firewall rules. One of them is blocking the request.
The information I need to adjust the firewall may be in the paste bin post (thank you for this!). But if there is anything more you can tell me about what is trying to read the message, it would be helpful. Which phone app, for example?
I’ll have more time to look at this tomorrow. I may have more questions. Hopefully I can reproduce the issue.
Thanks for reporting this!
