someone's been spamming ix for about a year #40

A look at http://ix.io/user/ shows that every 15 minutes someone is uploading an error message three times from what I presume is a cron job script. The error message is pretty much identical for all of the pastes. These pastes have been going on since at least February 2016 (see http://ix.io/oD0 ). Seems like a waste of space, and more importantly, of URLs... in the less than 1 year since oD0 we're already at 1Tvr, meaning that about 77% of all currently allocated ix.io URLs were allocated in the past year, and I'd guess mostly to these ansible-pull error message pastes. Just thought I'd point this out in case nobody had noticed.
