Report rules and the block window

One report opens a window: up to 1 hour for a game-server registration, up to 20 minutes for a Discord HTTP key.

1. 01

   Report at round start

   round_start is always sent. The first report opens the block window.

   {"event":"round_start","seed":1848055747,"port":7777}
2. 02

   Cap and budget

   A block lasts up to 1 hour from the first report for a game-server registration and up to 20 minutes for an HTTP key. The same number is the lifetime budget of that seed: once it is used up, nobody can block that seed again (a game-server registration may continue a seed that an HTTP key already blocked for 20 minutes).

3. 03

   One window per server

   While a window is alive, reports for a different seed do not open one. The next window can open once the previous one has ended and at least 5 minutes have passed since it opened.

4. 04

   Release at round end

   round_end releases the window for that seed immediately. After a window ends, a 5-minute cooldown keeps the same seed from opening a new one.
