I'll bite, please, can you tell me what that means? Googling brings this post up as the only useful result.
- logfromblammo 9y agoYou're Posting Too Fast. Please Slow Down. It's what HN tells you whenever you try to write more than about five posts every four hours. I don't know the actual parameters, but they are ridiculously conservative, and very obviously waived for certain accounts. When it happens, the only way to actually provide a meaningful response to someone in a timely fashion is to edit a previous post. Which breaks the expected flow of a conversation, obviously. It's the thing I hate most about HN, without reservation.
- dfc 9y agoYou can also "provide a meaningful response in a timely fashion" if any of the recent messages get upvoted. It can be a little annoying but the easy solution is to consider how useful your comment is to the community before hitting submit.
