We wanted to prevent automated bots from sending too many queries at once - that's why we kept the social login. If you are still concerned, you could authenticate with a fake Twitter or FB account or revoke the permissions after trying it out.

That seems to me to be a terrible and Byzantine solution to a very easily resolved problem. So easily resolved in fact that I question whether this is really the reason why or are you harvesting data for some other purpose?

I too never use my facebook or twitter logins for anything unless it's absolutely critical.

It sounds like it could be fun otherwise.

If only there was some other way to implement rate limiting....

Wo don't you just use a captcha?

[lazy_nerd]

yeah, I wonder why we didn't think of that option. We will definitely switch to that.

Make sure to resubmit with [FIXED] so I can give it a shot.
