In my experience the banning is too strict. It is triggered very quickly and it seems to last forever (maybe 15min would be better?). I ask pg to kindly consider making it a bit more lenient. I doubt HN goes under deliberate/malicious attacks, etc... I'm making a HN extension that preloads some data such as the comments and the links on the next page (it's still with reasonable delays). But at the moment it's impossible for it to function without risking the user getting banned.
