Yeah, I’m open to suggestions. :D

My biggest concern with blacklists is misuse. A blacklist which clears itself every 24 hours (or any entries over 24 hours of age) would go a long way to shut down sudden bot floods, and also curb misuse.

That said though, I’d love something that just worked perfectly all of the time. :)

I put in a temporary solution, but in the long term, we need a better
approach. Something like blocklists ain't really going to fix the problem.
