I work for a cloud computing company and we lease VMs to organizations & individuals (mostly Developers) and we run into similar scenarios: there's one machine using its resources excessively (like CPU) and causing performance issues for other people on the platform.
While in this case last night, it's pretty clear that SPAM was afoot (because of the message) and a denial of service issue arose.
At my job, we'd just throttle the one user's resource to balance everything out on the platform -- but with this EOS situation, that's kind of tricky.
TBH I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this "greylisting" idea actually works. Do you know how to explain it like I'm 5? lol. But yeah, excessive use is a problem in a shared environment.
ALSO I WAS BUMMED I COULDN'T PLAY EOS KNIGHTS EITHER!!
Good writeup!
