Ask HN: What's up with the limits on viewing profiles?

1 pointRed_2 comments

How come I can't view HN profiles of any members including myself, when I log out?

All I get is this: We've limited requests for this url.

I'm not logged into HN on my work machine, and I have no problem viewing anyone's profile from there, including yours (just tried it now).

Maybe it's just my internet connection.
