# Feature Request: Block Throttled Users

 * Hi, I find that it is better practice to set page not found errors to throttle
   and not block due to how common it is for hard to find broken links to cause 
   false positives. That said, when you look at the logs for these sites you will
   often see that there are a handful of obviously malicious probative actions based
   on how many times an IP has been throttled. Could you add a permanent block button
   next to throttled results just like you have for blocked results? Thanks.

 * Hi,
    I’ve passed your suggestion to our dev team for further evaluation and consideration
   in the future.
 * Thanks.
