Watching for copying and abuse

ScentSell's catalogue, members' listings and members' data took a lot of work to build, and members trust us with them. Signed-out visitors can browse the marketplace, but the catalogue's underlying data cannot be read directly without signing in, and we watch for anything that tries. Members' own AI connections are limited to 60 requests a minute and 500 a day, which normal use never reaches. Messages are checked for attempts to move deals and contact details off the site. AI assistants and search engines are welcome to read the public pages, as they are for any shop; programs that try to copy the site in bulk are not. When we see abuse, our team can block it and suspend the accounts involved. We do not publish the details of these checks, so they keep working.
