It appears that certain users are deliberately trying to stop the droid from working correctly by entering ditloids made up of hundreds of letters such as, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...."
The droid then can't solve these and so adds them to his list of ditloids to solve which scrolls along at the top of the page. Unfortunately, this then makes the list so long that he can't scroll it correctly and goes into slowdown until I spot it and manually remove the offending "ditloid".
Quite why people are abusing this free service, I really don't know. The ditloid droid is pretty much an automatic service and I check it perhaps once a week to make sure it is behaving so if you notice any problems, please try again later.
Don't let a few idiots spoil this service for the majority of decent users.
