Forum randomly blocking access

The last few months I've experienced what seemed to be random avcanada outages, but when I tried to access the forum via another device it did work. Looks like some anti spam filter is set up a bit too strict.

One way that seems to trigger it, is using the 'view more smilies' link. When you click through a few pages quickly, and then try to create a post, it will seem as if avacanada is offline.

Perhaps a good idea to relax that a bit? Especially for logged in users with a proven track record so to speak?

I’ve had the same. It’s probably a DoS prevention thing cuz people like you an I actually go on this site more than once a day.
