It’s likely you tripped the “Way Too Fast” blocking option, ie., too many accesses over a short period of time. See the last set of options on the Options page and up the “WTF sample” size to 10, or more. If you were blocked that way, a wait of 15 minutes would have left you unblocked.
I’ve repeatedly locked myself out the same way.
I’ll try to add a “Don’t block Admins” option, or just hard code it.

that would be great if you could add this – or – could you post the code I would need to hardcode the plugin to add an option to “not block admins”
I know I can increase the sample size but it would be cooler if as admin, I would be exempt.
Thanks,

If you want to do it, yourself…
In the file – ecstatic.php – in the function ecstatic_new_hit() which begins around like 540 or so (I’ve modified some of the functions since last release), the last “if” statement…
Change it from…
if ($ecstatic->score > 9) {
To…
if ($ecstatic->score > 9 AND !(current_user_can(‘administrator’))) {
No admins will ever be blocked.
I’ll probably leave it that way in the next release.
Thanks for the idea!
Oops. “like 540” == “line 540”
