Copping new Supreme gear can be a pain in the ass. Not only are you competing against the brand’s insanely huge cult following, you’re also going up against users who employ automated methods known as bots; however, it looks like the latter shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

According to a tweet sent out by @TheSupremeSaint, the New York-based streetwear brand is now banning IP addresses “based off of how frequent you Poll Supreme’s website via refresher or bot.”

URGENT.

Supreme is banning IP addresses based off of how frequent you Poll Supreme’s website via refresher or bot.

You’ve been warned.

So if you’ve used this method before, you should definitely consider stopping.
