API Abuse #1

Heyo.

This was linked in the Discord API guild and I figured I'd let you know that this constitutes as API abuse and could potentially get you IP banned from Discord.

Wouldn't want that to happen to you so just a heads up.

I know, thanks for the message! I've been having contact with the Discord Support about this thing, that's the reason why I added a check in the code to prevent you from taking a number lower than 60000ms. There is also a warning on the git page that if you use this, your bot might get banned if you deny the rate limit.

wow that so dumb! why is that a problem? its not like discord hosts the bot i would. whats the point of having a rainbow role if it can flash really fast with colors.

ghost commented 7 years ago

what if it's just one account being changed? or if i get nitro can i get some sort of immunity on my server? i dont wanna go any slower than 1 second

@RBGaming First, making it flash that fast can trigger epilepsy. It's dangerous. Secondly, you are hosting the bot but Discord host the API and the code and it fills them up with your API requests and lag.

You cant make it flash that fast it causes epilepsy anyway

TheRockettek commented 7 years ago

Theres a delay between your client and discord. Role colours update every 4 seconds
