[Moin-user] Too many clients?

[Rick VanDerveer]

I agree, it is too easy to run into.

Our wiki is internal, so I don't have to worry about spammers or bots surging our wiki.  Therefore I decided to turn it off altogether.  You can do so like this:

   surge_action_limits = none

Hope this helps...
