My question is in the title. 8 different people who use the bot from america are banned for no reason. Care to shed some light on this?
 
its not just Americans, we're working on resolving the issue, its nothing personal against anyone, just a technical issue. please be patient.
 
actually I think he website was under attack the past few days. slowness issue, as long with user login attempted to brute force as it told me i tried a failed password 5times which i havent.

theres possibly a hacker trying to bruteforce our forum accounts. fortunately the buddy key auth wasnt affected so our bot could login easily.
 
Honorbuddy's forum was under a DDoS attack for several days and in order to relieve stress on the website some measures were taken.

In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the efforts of one or more people to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet.

One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered essentially unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.

To try and purge out the incoming connections that were malicious, Apoc implemented a script to ban an IP range or an IP if it tried too fast too many times to connect to honorbuddy's forum. People may of accidently gotten a ban if they refreshed the page too many times in an X amount of time or clicked " Post quick Reply " too quick.

Maybe a Forum announcement is needed? I had to search this thread to find out what was going on.

I pretty much thought that was what happening but i think it would reassure people if you told them it has been dealt with.

Otherwise good job on stopping the attack :)
