Issue with rate limit feature
not a dev, but this is the only server i could find that has something to do with Cloudflare so this is where i went.
basically, i was reloading a page on hot topic when i was IP banned for maybe an hour or so, that's pretty much it i just re-loaded the page too much and it didn't detect the re-loads as a normal action i could do.
this is probobly the first and last time im using this server lol

I'm happy to help you with your issue.
It sounds like you encountered a temporary IP ban due to excessive page reloads on the Hot Topic website, which is protected by Cloudflare. This is likely due to Cloudflare's security features, which are designed to prevent abuse and malicious activity.
According to the Cloudflare documentation, this type of issue can occur when Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) flags a request as suspicious or malicious. In this case, it's possible that the repeated page reloads were misinterpreted as a potential attack.
If you're experiencing issues with Cloudflare's security features, you can try the following:
1. Wait for the temporary ban to expire (usually 1-2 hours).
2. Clear your browser cache and cookies.
3. Try accessing the website again.
If you continue to experience issues, you can also try contacting Hot Topic's support team to see if they can assist you further.
As for using this server, don't worry - it's not uncommon for non-developers to stumble upon technical forums or servers. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help!
