well first you would have to learn to read properly.
they didnt block the user until AFTER they had the performance issues
""The servers were going down like 10-15 times a day," he said. "Our hosting company stabilized them and secured them by blocking IP addresses"
once the user was blocked the server stabilized.
the user did not "fail" to get in , they got in and were dumping databases causing the server to stall, they got busted got blocked , the server returned to normal other than failed requests , nats was notified .
