But NOT when you actually call thousands of users to actually hit you simultaneously on purpose. As a customer, I want to place an order, it's not my fault if they can't set up sufficient resources and I can't even get the page to load. So I will retry until it works. If they ban me from it, then it's unfair, everybody should get the same chances.
