Getting 403 for all calls to draw.json #11

I just created a new throwaway account but have been getting only 403 errors:

I also seem to get them when doing it from the browser:

Any clue what could be going on here?

I'm having the same issue when using new accounts. If i use accounts which i've had for months it works fine

devedse commented 7 years ago

Yeah, strangely with new accounts it doesn't seem to work?

RobinFlikkema commented 7 years ago

It might be some reddit policy as i'm also getting a 403 when using a newly created account on https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ You also do not get the 5 minute timeout like older accounts do

Check the rules on https://www.reddit.com/r/place/: Only accounts created before 31-03-2017 may place tiles

Aha :), makes sense. Kinda stupid reddit doesn't give good visual feedback to the user about this though.
