- refulgentis 3y ago"Your account is rate limited. We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or get involved in flamewars." What part of this differs from how I described it, except I was more polite and didn't say you were posting low-quality comments, or doing a flame war? Your argumentative confusing responses used to frustrate me but you're putting a smile on my face now. Idk what's going on over there, but I have a feeling you know you're doing it, you're enjoying it, and I'm genuinely happy to hear that. יברכך יהוה וישמרך
- trimethylpurine 3y agoHow would you automate a system that throttles low quality posts? It relies on downvotes. When people downvote your comments, you are "rate limited" for a short duration. That, of course, leaves open the problem of people downvoting stuff they disagree with, regardless of quality. Essentially, the system works, but in many cases, a downvote means you're right and the downvoter doesn't like being wrong. That causes an unjustified throttling. Oh well...
