Addons that allow you to mass-click several links at once have proliferated throughout the site. They seem to have two primary uses, both of which cause problems:

Clicking lots of eggs at once
Sure, with Snap Links you can click nearly every single egg in the DC fansite at once. But have you stopped to think of what that does to the server? You're sending dozens of requests simultaneously and your browser expects the server to respond to them ASAP. The server is only capable of handling finite amounts of simultaneous requests, and if you have tons active tags, you're only contributing to server lag.

On the abandoned page or at an egg drop
Snap Links also helps you get eggs. Just visit the abandoned egg page, snap-link all of the eggs, and you're practically guaranteed to get at least one egg (or two or four). Now, not only does this create the same problem as stated above, but it also is unfair to others. Many if not most people are stuck with clicking eggs one at a time and hoping that they get one, while with snap-clicks you can get multiple eggs in one go. It's practically cheating.

I am entirely prepared to implement restrictions that will prevent the use of mass-clickers (The code is ready and tested), but I'd rather try asking nicely first.

So: Please do not use mass clickers such as snap links in order to click many dragons at once or in order to make it easier to get eggs.
