+My build notifier is being redirected from
+link:https://ci.jenkins.io[ci.jenkins.io]
+to this page! Help!
+____
+
+
+There have been a number of "Build Notifier" tools/scripts that have hit
+link:https://ci.jenkins.io[ci.jenkins.io]
+over the years, because it is a highly visible Jenkins installation and makes
+for a good out-of-the-box default.
+
+The problem with *many* of these tools is that they impose unnecessary and
+sometimes even _abusive_ loads on our Jenkins installation.
+
+
+If you are being redirected to this page, that means you are using a known
+"Build Notifier" which has been responsible for unnecessary/abusive traffic to
+our infrastructure (see also:
+link:https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/INFRA-917[INFRA-917]
+).
+
+NOTE: We have introduced this page as an alternative to banning IP addresses that
+send traffic. That is still an option if abusive traffic persists.
