Boom. "Error 307 Booted from Server" 10-minute ban.

I had to severely throttle calls to GuildDemote()/GuildPromote(), no more than one user's worth every 10 seconds. Even 5 seconds was too frequent, probably for the users who jumped several ranks in one week.

PS: No, I never published the add-on. It's a cheesy hack filled with hardcoded constants specific to my guild roster at that point in time, not useful as a general public add-on.
I think it was an Issue with too many Pings to the Server, but im no Programmer.. Im just repeating what i read^^
