The most active players will request more pages than the 'average' player. Shall we ban them just in case?

I know what disproportionate means (hell, I could give you its latin root); I was pointing out that it doesn't actually mean anything in this context.

Furthermore, why can't the servers take 'hundreds of pages an hour'? If there were 50 or 100 coordinated people doing this I could see your point, but surely they should be able to take the supposed 10 people, even if they are requesting pages 4 or 5 times a second.
