I must disagree with you guys, since you can't expect the user to know what you expect him to behave. he is no power user, and have no psychic abilities. I think that if it bothers you that a user overflows the system you should automatically withold access to a client that hammers your server for the duration of time you require, like 5 min. there are problems i grant you that, but its prudent. note: it can make other users be denied access using spoofing from a malicious client. but consider the alternative of the server overflowing and many others will suffer.
