I'm being rate limited


What does that mean? When I try to post it says I've been blocked from the site and rate limited. It did post my message but it doesn't open 🫤

Edit

This post worked fine. I just went back to The Neverending Story page and it happened again 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's because of the smiley apparently... there's no text on the link, so it doesn't redirect.

Really?! Thanks for the info.

You have to put at least one letter in the title otherwise it becomes broken. Emoji and punctuation doesn't count.

I've learned something new today 👍

Edit your post titles [with letters/words], so they can be viewable.

reply

I can't. When I try it gives me the same message. It's weird because someone has replied to one of the posts (posted twice accidentally), but I can't open it to read it 🤷🏻‍♀️. Never mind, I did it again afterwards with words in the subject, so I got my (awful news) out there eventually.

reply

That sucks, but glad you're able to repost w/ words in the title. Neverending Story is such an epic, I hope any possibility of a remake/reboot fails.

You'd like to see a new film?

As many others I'm a huge fan of The Neverending Story. ♥
I look forward to a remake of the good 1984 movie!

I would like one too, even a mini-series, but the way narratives and films are being made today, I prefer none of the above, so I wish them to fail.

I can't remember the name, it's about a young boy who runs away from home to find himself on an island with monster creatures (live-action remake). I loved every bit of it, but it feels like it was made in better times and not in the tv/film dystopia we live in today.

Well, Michael Ende (book author) was disappointed with the 1984 movie. The movie didn't tell the whole story, even though it was extremely expensive.

And please don't become one of those grumpies:
'Everything used to be better!'
That's only partially true. 😉​

If a post title doesn't contain letters or numbers, the server redirects (301) the browser to the same URL over and over and once the browser exceeds the requests/second limit the rate limiter kicks in or the browser throws a redirect error before that.

I've been having this issue for months. It happens many times even if I'm here for a few minutes.

We are trying to slow down your pun onslaught.

I may or may not have just posted one.
