We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments and/or get involved in flamewars. Your account has done that a lot and we've had to warn you for a long time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35921579 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35921579 (May 2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32769278 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32769278 (Sept 2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30390204 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30390204 (Feb 2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26185464 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26185464 (Feb 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20342064 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20342064 (July 2019) We're happy to take the rate limit off once we have reason to believe that an account is using HN in the intended spirit and will keep doing so.
