What is that of blacklisting?
I don't understand it really well
It's basically DDOS protection.
Yes, except who has the power to alter who is classified as an "attacker"? Once you can blacklist an IP can't someone decide to apply to it anyone?
Mike is the first to admit the code isn't good, if you have a better proposal please submit it, I'm pretty sure Mike will approve it.
Someone already proposed a better target blocking.
