Hi,
A new wave of wiki scraping has started using tens of thousands of 
mostly residential IP-addresses from Brazil and China. I added a new 
filter to detect these and it will ban such IP-addresses immediately for 
10 weeks.
It's possible that a normal user could get caught by the access pattern 
used for detecting these. If that happens, I can manually unban you again.
Sorry for the inconvenience. But after banning 45000+ new IP-addresses 
since last night and counting, the server is at least responsive again.
I assume they're using something like
