I was watching the recent changes IRC room. The edits
were flooding the
room at times, then the bot was stopping, then flooding again. I imagine
it was actually a bot doing it, not a human, and obviously it was blocked
quickly. It was going at a rapid rate, too fast for a browser user.
that's quite consistent with someone loading some edit pages in browser
tabs, submitting them all at once, and then loading a few more. i've done
it before myself, though for slightly more legitimite purposes...
