@djsundog In theory over time those servers would either shut down due to cost or implement rate limiting, but in general I think you do have a problem to solve there of getting user buy in.

@djsundog I think I like this idea. It'd be even cooler if you could have a panel visible to users showing which servers were under a rate limit, so that you don't create an administrative overhead for admins. "Why can't I see my friend's picture?" "Rate limited".

One downside I could see to this is that it could create a dynamic where end users, not knowing the value of rate limiting to the server's health, move to larger servers without those restrictions, creating large servers on accident.
