“(Motivated) bad actors” are a different problem to drive by bot spammers. While I agree with all the people saying “this’ll block real people at significant rates”, for some things (like personal blog replies or small forums) that can be a perfectly sensible trade off for some sites. Sure, if you are Netflix, or a government department website that people need to use, it’s a terrible idea. For somebody who’s sick of deleting spam replies on their personal blog posts? Simple rules with known and acceptable unintended consequences might be a really good idea.
