The moderation is quiet but very firm. For example, I can't post more than like 8 comments per day without getting blocked by rate-limit errors because dang has decided I get in too many flamewars.
- muzani 5y agoThis is actually rather clever. It's the internet equivalent of having a buddy pull you back in a brawl, as opposed to kicking you out.
- runarberg 5y agoI think it is like 5 comments in the same hour and then you have to observe for the next 3 hours (or something like that, I don’t know exactly). I love this feature. I’m of a personality which really easily gets baited into flamewars (which is against the guidelines). Being forced to stop after 5 posts forces me into a cooldown period where I can reflect on my behavior. When the shutdown is over I will probably be demotivated enough to continue this recklessness and the probability of me being yelled at by dang goes down with it. If I have something important to say, it can wait a couple of hours.
