you may be correct. the issue has been closed for further review. a scaled attack might only prevent new nodes from entering the network as existing connections would be spared even when the maximum limit of peers is reached.

however - and i mean this - you need to watch your mouth buddy. you've been unnecessarily rude. i have decided not to respond with force - so either stfu or press your luck

can you please ban bots downvoting my comments? I just posted comment and it was downvoted within less than a minute, there is no way human would read it that fast (plus it's not even controversial, it's the one about breaker box) I'm 100% sure there are bots set up brigading against my account from what I see even my innocent comments being downvoted, I'm disappointed HN allows such brigading

This is the kind of thing the site guidelines ask you to email [email protected] about instead of posting about in the threads. Can you do that instead?
