Crazy.

Ooo. You know what would also be fun. Instead of a ban, after the obvious bot limit is hit switch that IP to piles of garbage data. Randomly generate word salad pages and make it redirect to those.

    I was thinking about something similar. Generate a lot of source code that is pure garbage with comments so that they are learning nonsense. But at the end of the day I don't want to waste more CPU cycles. This is enough to waste their time on my sites with no real blips on my machine.
