Maybe as an option we could just ask the submitter to slow down a little. If it's not spam he will probably be respectful of the request. My thoughts are that maybe sometime in the future some hot topic might call for a lot of quick submits—you never know. Plus to me, I hate to see a forum with freedom of speech tightened down for everyone by iron fisted inflexible code just because of one user, one time. I like this forum a lot no matter how many posts someone makes, but 18 quick posts does seem like a lot to me too. Must be a slow day for him. Maybe we could send him this: ICMP message Type 4 - Source Quench - the source is sending data too fast for the receiver (Code 0), the buffer has filled up, slow down!

Maybe as an option we could just ask the submitter to slow down a little If it was just this one time I would have done that -- but it has happened in the past with other people. maybe sometime in the future some hot topic might call for a lot of quick submits Lots of quick submits, sure. But from the same person? I doubt it... if there's big news, lots of people will be submitting links.

  Oh, I understand what you mean now. He must have brewed up some extra strong coffee or downed a case of Jolt or two. 18 is a lot of posts for one person.
