The account was suspended for excessive usage of the webservice API which appeared to be spidering all the user accounts in Launchpad, which was causing a site-wide slow-down.
Can you explain why you needed to scan all of the people on Launchpad please?

I'm doing some data analysis about relationship between the bugs and users. So I need get the user's information. Do you have a better and faster way to get the user's information?
Thanks.

Hello yangguo. No, we do not have a faster way to get this information at this time.

Hello Gary. So, if I use the webservice API to get the user's information, I'll be suspended. Is that right? Is lower frequency of executing the script OK?
Thanks.

Hi yangguo. We do not have a sufficient and supported way to do what you want at this time.
If you choose a very tight throttling--a much lower frequency, perhaps 1/100 the raw speed or even slower--we might not notice the effect on our servers. However, it is a dangerous game, which can affect all of our users.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask yangguo for more information if necessary.
