That's really interesting to know. I'm very curious about the technical aspects of slowbanning - how is this accomplished without "wasting" valuable server resources?
I've asked a somehow related question[1] on stackoverflow but got no replies... maybe this can help solve the mystery?

- brudgers 14y agoMy inference (from hellbanning and rumors of a unique YC alumni topbar) is that there is a closure over each username. If that is the case, then http requests can be assigned various priorities within the queue...or the closure could include something equivalent to: (let ((sleep 1000)... Closures would certainly be a lispy way of doing things.
