What people report

Saw someone had their OpenTable account blocked because it scanned a couple of hundred times.

Do this instead

  • Let the user register an agent as a known device, the way banks register a phone.
  • Publish a policy for agents. People find out after the ban.
  • Rate-limit the agent, do not ban the person.
