Ah... You're running in reverse... OK... No problems...

 

 

Actually, I'm not sure you couldn't use the 'after' command to accomplish what you want...

 

 

e.g.

 

 


if () {
  after 500 {
    
    return
  }
}

return

 

 

So if we have a spammer, we execute the after command with a 500ms delay and then send a respons. But if we don't have a spammer we send the response immediately...

 

 

Sorry... Pseudo code only today...
