I enabled a new Web Application Firewall feature on our servers. I've been tuning the rules for the past week to try to limit the number of false positives. There still might be a few things I haven't setup exclusions for and a rule might ban someone for doing something completely innocent/normal. If you're an abusive user we can also use the WAF system to block you from accessing the site.

If you trigger one of the WAF rules you'll get a screen like this:

An automated WAF ban isn't permanent. It will last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the rule that was triggered. If you email me the incident ID I can look it up in the logs and use the information to tune the blocking rules.

We've been dealing with a wide variety of hacking attempts recently. A couple of days ago someone hit us with a Slowloris attack which caused us some headaches for a bit.

I got hit with the WAF last night when I was trying to message the MODs; I had several ADT pages open across multiple browser tabs, so I'm assuming that's what set it off. I sent an email like Drew instructed (with the Incident ID #), I never received any kind of response. Well, since I'm logged in right now, I guess everything's good with me now.

Sorry for the late reply. We went camping for a few days without internet access.

Please do email me with the incident IDs when you get blocked. Those IDs are unique and make it easy for me to look up exactly what rule was triggered and use that info to further tune the rules.

^ did you email admin@adultdvdtalk.com with the incident ID? Someone emailed me around the time you posted here but it was from an address that does not match the one associated with your user account.

The WAF is blocking thousands of requests per hour. Without the incident ID I can't investigate the reason you were blocked.

There are instructions on the page when the WAF bans your IP address. Without the information in those instructions you're just going to have to wait until the ban expires.
