Anyone know if the fix involved blacklisting countries/IPs or some other defense measure against Bots?

@Indus and @AnitaPeterson have mentioned elsewhere that the page still appears to be down for them.

Yes. While I do not want to lay out the exact details, I will say there are some instances where the Bot protection may end up being a little too aggressive and there is the small potential to (temporarily) block legit accounts. I understand that may be frustrating if you get hit with it (I too have been hit with it on other sites), but we're still fine tuning things to find the best levels.

At this stage of the game it might be easier to keep the active members ip whitelist then maintain the blacklist.
