Workaround for plug.dj rate limiting and bots being easily banned

throttle.js

//ok so this is pretty neat, you can just burst two messages every just over 3.33 seconds,
//and you never hit the rate limiter to cause the banning. Very groovy.

//constants
var delay = 3400, //ms to wait per burst
    burst = 2; //burst the first 2 messages

//state
var messages = [],
    timer = null;

function send(msg)
{
  messages.push(msg);
	if (null == timer)
	{
		timer = true;
		//brief pause so we can burst more than one message
		setTimeout(function(){
			timer = setInterval(sendTick, delay); //set ourselves to run in the future
			sendTick(); //start immediately too
		}, 20);
	}
}

function sendTick()
{
	//send up to burst messages each go-round
	for (var i=burst; i>0; i--)
	{
		var msg = messages.shift();
		if (msg)
		{
			//SEND MESSAGE FOR REAL HERE
		}
	}

	//stop if we're done
	if (0 == messages.length)
	{
		clearInterval(timer);
		timer = null;
	}
}
