Since the new forums have been installed i have been temp banned 10-15 times. I am very careful on how i browse. What i propose is to increase the amount of bandwidth used in odor to ban a user from the site.
Some things i have noticed that result in a almost instant ban
1. Look at a social groups photo album. Since the images are hosted on the server the server gets mad. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
2. Upload images to your album. If the images are not 600x600 they are sometimes very large images and you eat a lot of bandwidth as you can upload 3 images at a time.
3. Request 2 pages at once.(Open 2 pages in new tabs or windows)

Yes i was just banned a hour or so ago. I know its a IP ban becuase i can view the site through a proxy. I have to wait a few mins before i can view the site off the proxy.

This is still happing. happened 2 times today, Once when i went to view the member list. I guess looking at all the member list User pictures was to much bandwidth? And the other time when i was trying to view some pictures in another social groups Album.
