  It's likely put in place to prevent abuse by using new accounts to spam. I think it's a reasonable measure. I believe I've seen at least one case where the mods have exempted a new account used for legitimate purposes from this restriction. 'salesguy222 may want to contact them to request such an exemption. See the Contact link in the footer.

      Thanks for the clarification. The IP rate-limiting makes sense from a spam prevention perspective. If spammers can get around the limiter just by creating additional accounts, it would defeat the purpose of rate-limiting.

        i agree with you on this, surprisingly posts on this site are a bit durable (a few days at the top pages?), so the urgency of commenting with a new account isn't as severe as something like 4chan I think if my opinion was truly valued urgently and anonymously, I should just make a paste bin or github post and let my writing stand as its own topic
