I am, yeah. I implemented a local cache to keep track of Discourse member IDs as they relate to my site’s main IDs and I keep track of the last time I performed some actions so I don’t have to call the API unnecessarily.
But when my main site gets busy, there are a lot of members entering/exiting forums. And since I implemented the double-ignore to simulate blocking, my site has to make a series of API calls for everyone on someone’s block list. If one of my members has blocked 5 people, that can easily translate to 15-20 API calls.
