- woodruffw 5y agoSorry to take us on a tangent, but what mechanism is that? I'm guessing some kind of cool-down timer?
- bena 5y agoThe reply link doesn't show immediately on some comments. But you can reply to a previous reply. I would imagine it's to give commenters space to not be as reactive. I'm just curious as to how he hasn't already hit the "you're posting too fast" limit. Regardless, I don't think any of these mechanisms have the effect desired. Because the site has still become what it has become. More and more I'm becoming convinced that there are scales at which we are just incapable of dealing with things.
