Most services do have query limits.

It's not hard to code a simple bot that factors site-policy. Most sites have them and it stops nobody.

"INSERT INTO blacklist(id,ip) VALUES(:id,:ip);"
"SELECT id FROM blacklist WHERE ip=:param1 LIMIT 1;"
"UPDATE users SET threshold=threshold+1 WHERE session=:sid LIMIT 1;"
"SELECT userid FROM users WHERE session=:sid AND threshold>:qlimit LIMIT 1;"

Those and about ten lines of PHP give you blacklisting and threshold. The only improvements would be account-type variable profiles.

How I deal with bots: RNG, JS>AJAX, and reCaptcha.. Let them use VPN or whatever.. They'll have to manually work every one or use a solving-service, and those solving services charge exponential rates to what faucets and BTC games pay(which correlates to my other post on these forums about only idiots using faucets and games).

This guy should be a pro with the language he is using, have not even heard about RNG. It would be really good of you to share further details about blocking bad IPs or bots, everyone ain't as good as you when it comes to coding, sharing is caring, a bit detailed explanation would not not harm anybody

Acccording to Wikepedia it is Random-number generator (RNG) hehe Tongue

But I agree with you, it would be really good to share some knowledge Roll Eyes
