It does, to a certain extent, Sean. However, in order to limit one, we're forced to limit all. The functionality to block requests based on user, IP, or song just isn't there. And I see no reason to punish the 99% of the users that don't abuse the priviledge just to get the idea across to the 1% that Hasn't Gotten the Idea. I also don't like the idea of having to punish The Flower Kings because someone hasn't got the imagination to look beyond the end of their nose.

That's why I'm looking at the possibility of blocking based on domain name or username. That's going to require a significant change to the code, and I'm not at all thrilled with the idea of going to that level. But I have to do SOMETHING!

Hopefully I won't break anything else.
