Repetative High Resource Suspension

[coolzeldad]

Hello all.

I came to the community forums today wishing to understand my suspension report.

On October 4th, I was notified of my account suspension due to high resource usage.

Since I use only small amounts of the resources allocated to my account, I was unsure of how to handle the situation.

I proceeded to send an automatic request for un-suspension.

Until today, about an hour ago, the site was up and functioning. As of now I have yet been notified of yet another suspension notice regarding the same details.

To prevent another suspension and possible account termination, I have not sent a request for un-suspension and now come here to seek advice on this situation.

I appreciate all help regarding this issue in advance!
Thanks.

Hello,

I've looked up your resource usage, one of your scripts was using between 65%-78% of the CPU for an extended period of time. It was from the index page of your forums using the action "dlattach".

Thank you so much for the quick reply!

I have sent an un-suspension request and disabled attachments on the forum completely.

It seems someone might have been performing some sort of amateur DDoS-like attack on the attachments but I am unsure.

Hopefully this will resolve the issue!
Thanks again for your detailed reply and such a great service.
