Aggressive anti-bot filter

I'm having the same problems I used to have on the Dota 2 Wiki, I'm getting timeouts after nearly every page visit. Would it be possible to make the filters less aggressive? Whatever changes were made to D2W helped, I never have problems there anymore. Thanks! -- Nickoladze (talk) 22:19, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I will discuss it with the sysops team tomorrow. -- Wynthyst talk 01:14, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Is that the "The connection was reset" I keep getting? Cause I'm getting that all the time. Thought it was just overloaded servers.-AnnanFay (talk) 01:50, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah i was wondering about that too --Goliath (talk) 01:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Our network is under almost constant ddos attack from outside sources. To try to insure the maximum uptime, and stop these attacks from interrupting service, we have implemented some throttling measures that unfortunately, have this side affect, I will ask the team to evaluate stuff here and try to make adjustments that will keep everyone happy. -- Wynthyst talk 02:01, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I see. I also just assumed it was the servers getting overloaded, since it doesn't seem to happen all the time. There have been other times where I would load the Recent Changes page with the intention of reviewing people's edits and I get the "The connection was reset" error immediately. It sort of makes it completely impractical to monitor and edit the wiki when I can't even see what changes people are making half of the time. —Vinifera7 (talk) 01:30, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
